Any objections to always making the assignee an explicitly subscriber?
Every other person that gets bug notifications is going to be explicitly Cc'd once InitialBugContacts lands so I don't see what the point of special-casing is here. And, in the case of, "what if you accidentally assign the bug to the wrong person?", well, the same question could be asked of the general subscription form.
