Bug Description

Apparently the project's driver is allowed to make decisions about nominating bugs to particular series, and perhaps other things. This isn't documented in help afaics.

Neither is 'bug supervisor'.

It turns out that https://edge.launchpad.net/bzr/+edit-people does say

"This person or team will be able to set feature goals for and approve bug targeting or backporting for ANY major series in this project. You might want to leave this blank and just appoint a team for each specific series, rather than having one project team that does it all."

but you can only find this out if you discover this page, and if you're already privileged to change the driver.

Hi Brad.

I reported bug 595907 about the correct markup for help links. I do not see a corresponding help link for bug supervisor? Do you want to treat that as a separate bug?

We agreed to report the bug supvisor as a separate bug so that this work can be considered complete.
