Both. The set of people mentioned (either as being sent an email or
_not_ sent an email) is the set of people who are either:
reporter
assignee
QA contact
on the CC: list.
Note that another feature we've added to bugzilla is a way for us to
"force a reply to reporter", so that we can communicate with customers
as part of the bug mgmt process, but they don't need to be sent every
comment on a bug (the defaults for our bugzilla is that users only get
comments when the bug is closed).
Saying that there are scalability issues with this process is somewhat
silly =) since Mozilla's bugzilla does this with >100,000 bugs and tens
of thousands of registered bugzilla users, w/ no problems.
