Comment 1 for bug 181740

So when we don't have a linked upstream, the affects table won't show the bugwatch; the portlet while as you say isn't strictly needed is actually very useful on a bug with 100's of comments - one can see (and garden because watches can be removed) the relationships to other bugs. So, I disagree with the portlet being unnecessary - and I think removing it would make managing the relevance of the bug harder (even with bug gardening, there are still threads of discussion to preserve). We could say 'always show bug watches as task rows, even if there is no appropriate project to link the task on', which would fit the general model LP has of structuring data.
