Bug Description
I'm sorry that I'm wading into something that seems to be very new, but: The phrase "Edit bug mail", on bug report pages and project pages, doesn't make sense to me. "Bug mail" is something that is sent from Launchpad, not from you, so you never get the opportunity to edit it.
"Change subscription" might be more understandable. Even simpler would be "Subscribe/
Using "Edit" for non-document things seems to be a Launchpad anti-pattern, so maybe a UI guideline for it could be added to <https:/
It may save time to fix bug 771217 at the same time as this bug.

Don't be sorry. Getting feedback on things while they're still fresh is great.

That makes sense to me. I'm not sure who controls that page; probably
Huw. You should perhaps just add it.
Should links like "View package details" (in /launchpad. net/~bzr/ +archive/ daily) be deprecated too?
