Bug Description
One of the things that came up recently is that if a particular person
registers a remote Bazaar branch in launchpad, nobody else can.
This can be problematic because the existing branch can only be changed
by its registrant and if the registrant decides to replace the branch
with something else (something malicous, perhaps) or just delete it, it
breaks the workflow of everybody relying on that branch.
If Launchpad could allow multiple people to register the same branch,
that would solve this problem.

Letting multiple people register a branch could solve the problem, but it could also be confusing to have the same branch appear in listings multiple times.
Perhaps an alternative is to let people sponsor or vouch for an existing remote branch registration. Once multiple people had vouched for a registration, the original registrant could not change it or delete it (unless, possibly, they proved somehow that they were the remote branch owner).
