An assignee can solve that problem by reassigning to nobody, but 
shouldn't really have to. Bug contacts, and reporters, can't fix the 
problem the same way, so it would be nice if they could unsubscribe 
from individual bugs.

I haven't been exposed to the wilderness of Ubuntu bugs much, but in 
bugzilla.mozilla.org occasionally I've seen bug reports where the 
reporter was pleading desperately with people to stop the tangential 
discussion that had taken root in his/her bug report, because they 
couldn't escape the spam.
