Interesting, on most newer ticketing systems I've seen if you are
about to make a change there is typically some kind of UI element
(checkbox) that says something like 'suppress notifications.' An
oft-used feature by me anyway when making cosmetic changes or making a
number of changes at once. This assumes of course that anyone
interested in the bug will actually visit it to see the full set of
updates; not always the care for me and I imagine other users as well.
