Steps to reproduce:

I would like to subscribe to updates without needing to make an account. This is especially useful on public Bugzilla instances that restrict account sign-up like https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla

Actual results:

I'm forced to make an account (with possible delays or denial) when all I wanted was a notification of bug activity

Expected results:

Any of the following would be good enough for me:

  1. one-off subscription to bug notifications via email (might need a confirmation email, for that I'm okay)
  2. Icon present on each bug linking to an ATOM feed for just that bug along with the link in the head of the rendered HTML: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_(Web_standard)#Including_in_HTML
