Bug Description
I just accidentally changed the status of a bug (#604872, as it happens) to "Fix Released". I then realised my error and tried to undo my change, and Launchpad didn't let me: the drop down box for status didn't have any other options.
Apparently status changes back out of 'fix released' need you to be in ubuntu-bugcontrol, so for a normal user this is a one-way non-undoable change.
I think Launchpad:
* should provide a way of undoing this kind of error without needing to find somebody privileged (ie permit the state change if it is the reverse of the last one and done by the same person)
* alternatively if that's not possible, should warn somehow about state changes which are not undoable by you

I'm not sure I understand how this bug report is a duplicate of bug #520413. That one deals with someone (presumably with the appropriate privilege) being able to say "this user is spamming: revert all his spam!"
This bug report, on the other hand, involves users who _don't_ have the appropriate privileges who accidentally make a change and want to revert it themselves instead of creating work for said privileged users :)
