Adding an option wouldn't keep everyone happy. It would make happy only those who found the option, understood it, and made the effort to use it.

This bug seems like it should be fixed by structural subscriptions replacing bug contacts. Having a single bug contact forces the creation of dummy teams, which then causes duplicate notifications to members of various teams. With structural subscriptions, a person could be indirectly subscribed, directly subscribed (trumping any indirect subscription), or neither. Apart from MOTU-like processes (bug 179857), it would no longer ever be necessary for a team to be subscribed to a bug report.
