Tom is currently working on 'structual subscriptions', which will allow you to subscribe todifferent objects, for example projects and packages. When that is done, we can convert the existing package bug contacts to subscriptions, and then we can use package bug contacts to give permission for working on bugs for a specific package.
If anyone will be able to subscribe to a package, how would that be useful for granting permissions?
I don't think there's a connection between subscriptions and permissions (except that watching the former may eventually give maintainers an idea of who deserves the latter). Someone may have good reasons for being able to alter bug reports on a particular package while not being subscribed, and conversely someone may have good reasons for being subscribed to a package while not having permissions to alter its bugs.
...- We could offer ways of better tracking the upstream task for the Ubuntu context. This requires some brainstorming, but maybe for triage purposes we could say "Ubuntu task follows upstream".
This is "Handle a distribution being its own upstream for a package" <http://launchpad.net/bugs/76416>.
I've also reported Martin Pitt's suggestion about combining upstream and package bug listings. <http://launchpad.net/bugs/138545>
