As a user, if I find a bug in a package I would look into Bugzilla. As a
packager, I would expect to receive bug against my packages in Bugzilla.

In my opinion, allowing comments on already pushed updates would mean
that some users think that reporting bugs into Bodhi equals to reporting
bugs into Bugzilla... so as a user I would have to look into Bodhi AND
Bugzilla when I find regressions and as a packager I would have to deal
with BZ tickets AND Bodhi comments without BZ tickets.

If you **really** want to re-open comments on stable updates, please add
a very big, red warning which states that the package maintainer may not
look at new comments and to open a new BZ ticket!

I'm curious about this. I do get email notifications for all changes and comments for all my own bodhi updates plus for every update that I commented on. Have you turned this off, or do you mean to say you're going to ignore bodhi emails?

It would be enough to let users comment on an update for, let's say, a week after it's pushed to stable. That way, immediate feedback isn't lost, but bugs that are found after that time period need to go to bugzilla.
