Bug Description

Bug 61909 has gotten too cluttered/ignored, so I have opened a new bug.

We must fix the primary failure here: when the "security" check box is clicked, the security contact is NOT subscribed, but they should be. There is _no way_ in the LP UI[1] to search for bugs that are marked "security", and as such, security contacts must search for stuff their team is subscribed to. This needs to get fixed ASAP, as we are losing more and more bugs into this void.

Sorry, I misunderstood... This is essentially an exact duplicate of bug 61909 (at least fixing that bug would fix this one and would only be a few lines of code extra).

In future, if you feel a bug's been ignored, please comment on it and, if necessary, bring it to the attention of an LP team member in #launchpad on Freenode.
