I found bug reporting guidelines for a project not using Launchpad to be a useful way to say, in prose, that bugs should be reported in some other particular location.

For instance, the ubiquity project does not use Launchpad bug tracking itself. Because its primary existence is as an Ubuntu package, and the upstream project is mainly for the purposes of code hosting, we ask people to file bugs on the Ubuntu package instead. There's no way to say that directly in Launchpad, though, so I set the bug reporting guidelines to "Please use https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+filebug instead."

Therefore, if you remove this feature, please add a text entry box after "Bugs are tracked: ( ) Somewhere else", so that we can have a free-text description of the recommended alternative bug tracker even if Launchpad is not capable of representing it by means of the other radio buttons.
