Thank you for writing Bugzilla.  It's darn good software.

A suggestion:

The "Add me to CC list" checkbox used to be at the bottom of the show_bug.cgi webpage.  This was nice because I often used to uncheck it.

Now it's moved to the top of the page.  Nowadays, I still often want to uncheck it, but I often forget to:  it's so out of the way.  This results in me getting more bugmail than I would like.

Keeping the checkbox at the top is annoying.  Imagine if Wikipedia put "Please subscribe me to all changes to this article" in a tiny, hard to notice checkbox far away from the main edit-this-page form, and checked it by default.  That would be bad.  Keeping your checkbox at the top isn't quite as annoying, but is still annoying.

Please move the checkbox back to the bottom.

Reproducible: Always

I think it makes most sense to have it near the CC list, so that's where we keep it.

It's possible that, via JS, we could have the same checkbox twice and keep them in sync, though.

I'm tempted to write this as an extension. Do we think that'll do for this?

Will the extension ship with Bugzilla so that all Bugzilla installations will get it by default?
