Hello Launchpadders,

I recently had a chat with the Kernel developers about how they use
Launchpad. They posed me an interesting problem.

They have bugs that they must keep public, for reasons of both
principle and practicality. However, they don't really want anyone
outside of an authorized set of people actually *doing* anything to
those bugs. Outsiders change tags, statuses and add unhelpful comments
and the Ubuntu developers would like to stop that from happening.

What options do they have with Launchpad as it stands? What could we
cheaply change in Launchpad to meet that need better?

I long to hear your thoughts,
jml
