Yes.  As someone who goes spelunking into bug reports, it would be a
major problem if questions I have about the reported bugs do not reach
the person who reported the bug.

And requesting somebody to register as a user on Gitlab seven years
after reporting an Emacs bug "just in case" somebody might actually take
a look at their bug report sounds horribly rude to me.
