We are marking this invalid, because it is behaving as expected: if you
directly subscribe; and then mute; and then unmute *selecting the option
to subscribe again* ("unmute bug mail from this bug and subscribe me to
it.") then you will be re-added to the subscriber list.  If you don't
choose to be subscribed to it when you unmute, then you will not be a
subscriber, and so you will not be added to the subscriber list.

As with bug 770342, the heart of the problem is that muting and unmuting
is done via a direct subscription.  This is a separate bug, and one that
we hope to not have to address, because we believe that changing that
decision, which we inherited from work done by the Malone team in 2010,
will cause a very large amount of restructuring, which I estimate as at
least a couple weeks of work for everything to be cleaned up properly,
and another db-deploy change.

Title:
  When muting a bug your name disappears from the subscribers list but
  doesn't re-appear when unmuting

Status in Launchpad itself:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I reported a bug. My name showed  up in the subscribers list.

  I muted the bug. My name was removed from the subscribers list. Is
  this the intended behaviour? I'm assuming so because this list is
  useful to see who'll get email about the change you're making. Perhaps
  it should be renamed to "Active subscribers".

  I unmuted the bug. My name didn't reappear. That seems broken.
