I would certainly agree that if people have to search around the page for something there is a bug. Some of the changes in removing the actions portlet are meant to reduce this kind of search time, but it may be others bugs have been introduced. If the sequence you describe is a common one then maybe more needs to be done than just moving the unsubscribe links? > > BTW: Why are there so many people notified for all Ubuntu bugs?

I think they are all probably user errors - people wanted to know about all Ubuntu bugs but didn't realize how many hundreds of mail per day that would be. I previously suggested there should be an extra warning before subscribing. It seems like inactive accounts should be hidden from the subscriber list too?
