Bug Description
There is currently no link between a subscription to a bug and the fact that you are affected by this bug. I mean you can subscribe to a bug and not be affected by, and the opposite. Moreover, the subscription and the affect me buttons are not so near together: in my opinion, it would be better to be able to manage the both in a smaller area.
I think that two boxes one can tick or two plus/minus (like the actual subscription button) should be better: one for the subscription and one for your affected status.
In fact, there is maybe just the "affect me" button to change to a form comparable to the subscription button : it will then need one click to subscribe, and one click to be affected by. The same concerning the opposite processes.

I'm surprised I never thought about this. Definitely makes sense.
Good potential usability boost here.
