I believe Alexander was concerned about the people who have previously subscribed to -ports with the explicit intention to monitor the PR e-mails; for them, it would only be logical to have their subscription transferred to -ports-bugs now. However, since there is absolutely no way for the FreeBSD.org postmasters - or even for the FreeBSD ports committers - to distinguish between those who have subscribed for the PR's and those who have subscribed for the ports-related discussions, I absolutely agree with Kris that the subscriptions should not be (and they were not) automatically transferred. Thanks to the portmgr@ team and the FreeBSD mail server administrators for setting up the -ports-bugs list!
