For my understanding: a private bugnote is only visible to $g_private_bugnote_threshold an up. This should also be true for mail about a bug. Just my 2cents: The policy would be better, if the reporter of the ticket would also see private bugnotes. As analogon, if he opens a private ticket, he can also see this ticket.

themaze75 2007-01-10 15:25 reporter ~0013907	Same issue with 1.0.6. To remark on sgrund's comment - We use private bugnotes to hold information of a more technical level (for dev. team) that the reporter doesnt need to know. So I definately need the reporter not to see the private notes and could definately do without the confusion of him receiving an email telling him a note he cannot see has been added. Also, if someone that can see the bug could automatically see what's private inside, the private flag would not make much sense...
