Bug Description

NOTE: See related bug https://launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/91911

From menu "Product>Bugs>Change Bug Contact" there appears page:

-------------------------------------
Bug Contact
[ ] (Choose?)

The person or team who will receive all bugmail for this product
------------------------------------------

The last line that describes the field is ambiguous. What should be exactly typed
into the field? It appears that both email address and launchpad login id are valid values.

SUGGESTION

Make the text read: The person or team who will receive all bugmail for this product (enter either lauchpad login id or email address)

Will work on it, the statement is indeed a little ambiguous.

As Tom pointed out, this bug needs more discussion, not immediate action :) so I'll wait and talk to list about this. Removing myself from this bug for the moment. Thanks.

Users should not use an email address to set the person because it implies the email goes that that address. It does not. The email goes to the person or team in the manner they choose, which may also include send email to /dev/null to never receive emai.
