Arguably the three examples you give aren't good ones, because they're actually dozens of separate bugs in a single bug report. (If they were a single bug, the diff that fixed the bug in one package would usually fix it in the others too, which is implausible since they're entirely different software.) However, there may be other cases -- if not now, then in the future -- where flamewars or long tedious discussions break out, and a project/package subscriber (or even the reporter) wants to unsubscribe from *that particular report*, without unsubscribing from others.

We used to have this feature, actually. It was called an "ignore subscription", which gives you an idea of how awkwardly we presented it. :-) We could present it much better now. In the subscriber list, unsubscribed implicit subscribers could have their name preceded by a cross graphic, while all other subscribers had their names preceded by a checkmark graphic. For yourself (and teams you were a member of), the graphic would instead be a checkbox that you could uncheck, regardless of whether your subscription was a direct or indirect one.
