No, it was actually very well attended and we got good feedback.  Jeremy F., Brian M., and Kate S. were all there, participated, and were excited about the new features. Francis, Jono, and Ian also came and helped field questions.

It was shown that the team remains the bug supervisor. I think the question is whether the subscription is really unsubscribed. If the bug supervisor really gets a subscription (I.e. It isn't special cased) then I suspect it works as expected.

One header for each?

If a team has a contact address (a mailing list for example, like ~launnchpad did) then all team email goes to that address, not to the individual recipients. In that situation it does not make sense to let individuals mute or unsubscribe because those actions will not affect the mailing list and the email will still be delivered. Check with Brian for further explanation as he raised the point.
