Interested users find the bug and know you are on it, and (as you said) 
can CC themselves for further updates.  Users who don't look get the hint 
of a DUP to nudge them to check before filing next time.

As you said, everyone wins!

(As I posted earlier, I really don't mind a 3-day or 1 week hold-off, 
either.  If devs want it... <shrug>.  But I really don't see the big deal 
either way, and this way does have the advantages listed above.)
