They aren't compulsorily subscribed. They can unsubscribe, while still
being bug supervisors.

The way it works today is that when you become a bug supervisor, we
automatically create a subscription for you, since that's usually what
people want. After that you can unsubscribe from the projects's bug.

Were you aware of this, or are you suggesting we should tweak the UI,
making it possible to choose whether you want to subscribe already when
you choose to become a bug supervisor?
