Badly worded 'release manager' text when nominating a bug for a release

Bug Description

"Bug nominations are evaluated by release managers and accepted or declined for fixing in a release.

There is no release manager for Ubuntu."

When you nominate a bug to be fixed in a release, the above text is presented on the page. It makes little sense to say that your bug will be evaluated by a release manager and then tell you there isn't one.

You're right, that's a bit silly. :-)

That's also false. From what I've seen the `release manager' is defined as the Driver (for products at least). This matches the restriction on acceptance to ubuntu-core-dev... Why doesn't it show that team as the release manager, like in a product?

Projects and derivative distributions have release manger roles defined. The driver of the series has the power to edit the series, and create and edit milestones. Ubuntu is an exception. There has been some discussion about redefining the Ubuntu driver roles, but no concrete decisions have been made.

Given the last comment, if Ubuntu is a special case, can we just special case exclude it?

This i patch is bad. Mostly because release manager is a common term used through out software development, where as we are prepetually explaining driver. Ubuntu does had a small team of people who are release managers. they make the bug decisions. Ubuntu should not be an exception. The python: hack in the template is a strong indication the view is not doing the proper work.
