Things like "what on earth is the next step" and stuff like sorting based
on coloum etc.  But I'm not too concerned.  The AJAX for completing the
NVR is extremely handy though.

I wasn't really thinking workflow wise, I was thinking more email traffic
wise.

Email #1 - Bug has been updated - Some random message that makes sense but
you don't know what you have to do
Email #2 - Bug has been updated - Personal response from dev asking you if
you can test the update

Into

Email - Bug updated - "A fix is in the testing system, any chance you
could test it for me here, and give me some feedback".

But yes, I guess it also protects the workflow so to speak.
