This will count for more than it does now if we can get Jira to send
mail when tickets are updated. Do you actually make a habit of
scanning Jira threads to see what's new? I doubt many of us do or will.
Also, after just now looking at ATN-9 (*) I think you mean another
one, though neither 'quota' nor 'warn' appears in the title of any
ticket so I don't know which one.

(*) Which, as always, involves no fewer than four clicks to get in:
"log in", "MIT Touchstone", "MIT Kerberos account or certificate",
"Use Certificate - Go". If Evan can figure out how he set things up
to take only two for him, I'd be curious to know.
