I realize you meant a different Martin but I'm opinionated :)

Are you going to drop explicitly-set branch status?  Maybe now would
be a good time?  I've pushed probably a hundred branches through lp
and reviews in recent months and never manually set this, or wished
I'd set it.

Using the word 'confidential' makes me wonder if it's different to privacy.

Renaming a branch is such a big deal because of changing the url that
I'd make changing owner or name a special action, not part of the
regular edit field, and I'd show a preview of the url, as you do in
some other form.

So this would leave just the description.  Would it be feasible to
edit it in place?  If so I'd probably use it much more, and then even
more again if it was visible & editable in the mp page.
