There's no need if you're subscribed to bug reports for your issues.
The emails would roll in if any subscribed issues ever got any
activity, which would include them being fixed.

That's nice for you, but some of us continue to use it unhappily
because our issues have not been addressed.

This seems like a rather harsh stand to take. Hopefully you're not
acting as a representative of the Ubuntu developers.

I'd say that most folks (myself included) haven't bad-mouthed Snaps
and have, instead, been specific about discussing the issues that the
Snaps are presenting and about expressing disappointment in the
Ubuntu developers for rushing to use Snaps rather than ironing most
of their issues (certainly their most glaring ones) out before making
them a default for use with a very popular piece of software. That
sort of sharing seems like a perfectly-acceptable thing to do and
should be welcome in a mailing list like this one.
