Right. But I expect to get a mail once a comment was added or the bug
gets closed.

I do get such mails for some bugs but not for all (yes, I checked my
spam folder). Also some maintainers (and also John) wrote that they
didn't know about a new bug report.

I once was also forced to open a bug report about trac as it considered
some of my patches as SPAM and rejected these. So there are definitevly
some issues.

The biggest problem I see is that it is impossible to search for own
bugs (at least without registration which is <quote>normally granted to
maintainers and authors of prospective (“sandbox”) and accepted Boost
libraries, people working on the Boost website, and people contributing
significant content to this Wiki.</quote>), especially once they are
closed as they are not well handled on
http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/report (only one item shows also closed
ones).

You can also not list the submitter of a bug, only the owner ...
