Its important, to me, that somebody have read the docs and asserted
that they have done so before being granted bug control. The statuses
have meaning, and some of them have consquences. Also private bugs
are particularly important to treat with care and a specific set of
guidelines.

That said, I don't think DD's should have to prove that they can apply
those rules correctly. Assert that you are a DD (easily verifiable) and
have read the right wiki page and you should be granted bugcontrol access.

The only downside to this is that its not all that discoverable how
to apply.
