Oh. That seems like quite a shame to me - the most natural way of
organising a three-way conversation via email is to email two people,
and have them both reply-to-all... which is the equivalent of
subscribing to the bug in malone terms.
At the least, when filing a new bug with an email to a person and to
Malone, Malone could email the filer with a comment that the person they
cc'd has -not- been subscribed, and how to do a subscription.
