This is simply not true.  I don't have an account and I am emailed when 
the bug reports are updated.  You can log-in as guest to check the 
status of nearly any ticket.  I don't believe any bugs are marked 
private, unless they might potentially be a security issue.

Yes, its true that is hard to add additional info if you don't save the 
original email to reply to.  But I suspect that if you submit another 
ticket and mention the old bug number, someone with an account will 
combine them.
