Follow-up [ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1783793#c2 ].
The current notification mechanism of Bugzilla seems to completely rely on email spamming...
Having the email notification disabled, there seems to be no other mechanism to notify about the changes: making posts tracking in general rather difficult.
However, Bugzilla's in-site searching interfaces provided rather exceptional capability.
And I thus invented below:
[[
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?email1=${Email}&emailtype1=exact&emailreporter1=1&emaillongdesc1=1&splitheader=1&columnlist=bug_type,longdescs.count,short_desc,product,component,reporter,bug_status,resolution,opendate,changeddate&order=changeddate%20DESC,reporter,short_desc&limit=0
]]
Replace "${Email}" to URI encoded email address. (typically: just "+" replaced to "%2B")
"limit" sets the number of returned results. (0 means no limit)
This also partly addresses the concerns in: [

Bugzilla is a system designed for tracking defects and enhancements; it isn't a place for general discussion about features.
As per my comment on Bug 1783793 please use https://discourse.mozilla.org/ for discussion.
ps. The dashboard (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/page.cgi?id=mydashboard.html) has an "Updated Since Last Visit" query.

Thanks for the info.
Nor do I intend to use "bugzilla.mozilla.org" for general discussion after all: as explained in my linked post.

The categorization, seriously? (unless your intention is to make the post difficult to find...)
This is an invalid bug; please do not move it back.

Seemingly reasonable.

I find a number of the actions irrational. Some counterproductive to the development of the project. [1]
.
We have common interests: our apparent goals are common.
We shall focus on reason and common interests.
.
Impeding the project's development wouldn't do you good, supposedly.
