Since status and assignee changes end up in the bug activity, so should
product changes.

If someone changed a bug task from a valid to an invalid product, at
least I would like to know that it happened, and who did it. If we have
no notifications, someone could change Launchpad bugs to be Firefox
bugs, and we wouldn't know about it.

Actually, Stuart, now that I read what kiko wrote, maybe you
misunderstood? Kiko wasn't talking about changes to the product itself,
but about changing the target of a bug task.
