That's actually possible, although not very prominently advertized. 
(Well, in fact it could be worse.  Once you open a specific bug, you can 
request these "notifications" with several links.)
It is a "vote [aka star, aka subscribe] for this bug" feature (first 
column in the bug list, if you're logged in), and you can show and sort 
by the "Stars" count column with "..." on the upper right.

It's not too exciting, though, for now:  Out of 336 bugs, only 18 have a 
voting count of > 3, with maximum 7, and about 50 have 3.  And I suppose 
one vote is automatically assigned to the one who opened the bug.
