Could you make it so that when you mark a ticket I've reported as DUP, that you could add me to the list of reporters (?) for the ticket that it was DUPed to? This way I could query the tickets I've submitted, and find it. Also, I think this would get me status updates, etc. At the leas, add me to the CC list for the ticket.
I believe that the current Bugzilla 2.17 setup will add dup'ed reporters to the CC list.
