Bug Description
https:/
I can add a file to any existing release. But to add a new file, I'll commonly want to add a new release, and that function is not reachable from this page. (And it's not very obvious how to reach it at all -- I go to the homepage, find the series, click the series, then can add a release.)

I would find it convenient if, on a project's download page, there was an 'addrelease' link for each release series. For example, on this page...
https:/ /launchpad. net/bzr/ +download
The layout is something like...
Release series "1.6"
[_] bzr-1.6b1.tar.gz (md5, sig)
Release series "1.5"
[_] bzr-1.5.tar.gz (md5, sig)
[Delete Files]
A user with write access has a checkbox next to each file, and a "delete files" button at the bottom. But there is no "add file" function here. The user must instead navigate to the appropriate release series and then follow the "Register a release" link. It would be simpler to put a "Register a release" link under each release series.
The new layout would be more like...
Release series "1.6" (clickable, goes to https:/ /launchpad. net/bzr/ 1.6) /launchpad. net/bzr/ 1.6/+addrelease)
[_] bzr-1.6b1.tar.gz (md5, sig)
[Register a release] (goes to https:/
Release series "1.5" (clickable, goes to https:/ /launchpad. net/bzr/ 1.5) /launchpad. net/bzr/ 1.5/+addrelease)
[_] bzr-1.5.tar.gz (md5, sig)
[Register a release] (goes to https:/
[Delete Files]
I think this would be more intuitive, especially for relatively simple projects which release everything under a single series like 'trunk' or 'stable'.
