Comment 4 for bug 29743

For completeness, another piece of IRC log:

17:00:09 < ddaa> I understand you are the registrant.
17:00:22 < uws> yeah.
17:00:27 < ddaa> But you are also the author.
17:00:31 < uws> Correct.
17:00:41 < ddaa> The way I designed it (I think it's wrong, but that's a separate issue)
17:00:55 < uws> So the affected branches for which I am *BOTH* author and registrant should show up on both pages
17:01:04 < ddaa> When somebody is author _and_ registrant, the "registrant" status is essentially ignored to avoid redundancy.
17:01:16 < ddaa> I understand what you mean.
17:01:47 < uws> Alternatively, the description should read "These are branches you registered in Launchpad, but which you didn't author"
17:01:58 < ddaa> mhh
17:02:16 < uws> ddaa: I understand your point and I agree with it. But from a user perspective it's really confusing
17:02:24 < ddaa> I agree that is confusing.
17:02:47 < ddaa> I'm just pondering whether Branch.author should be just considered "a bad idea" and be removed altoghether.
17:03:44 * ddaa checks the database
17:03:59 < uws> ddaa: No, author is great!
17:04:19 < uws> ddaa: "What does this person hack on?"

In my opinion, changing the descriptive text on the registeredbranches page would be the best option, so that branch information is not duplicated on different pages.
