You can make a comment on the bug which will add you to the CC and then 
when a build is made it will add a comment to that bug informing you of 
a new build to test. Then you can upgrade to the test build and provide 
karma for it via bodhi. (there will be links in the comments in bugzilla 
when the build is made)....
