Bug Description

Currently there is a list of associated branches with a particular bug. There is no limitation on which projects those branches are filled on (and I think that's a good thing), but this means that they could either be on the wrong project or the bug could be misfilled. I think that there should be some visual signal next to the related branches if they're on projects that don't have bug task in the bug. It would also be nice if the same signal was put on the bugs associated with the branch page.

Thanks.

I think the technical summary is to show a warning when the branch target, adapted to a bug target, is not present in the bugs bugtasks' targets.

I do not think there is a one to one relationship between branch target and bug target. branch targets are mostly a subset of bug target, except for source package. The code could not warn about a branch for a source package linked to a bug, though that bug and one of the branches may be for distribution source package

I think for the purposes here a task on the product would satisfy a
branch on a series, and similarly a task on a distrosourcpeackage
would satisfy a branch on a distroseriessourcepackage.
