It sometimes happens that a well-intentioned community member responds inappropriately to a bug filed by a developer. For example, by rejecting the bug, or asking for additional information when the problem is well understood by the relevant developers.
To address this and related problems, I propose the following:
When displaying the names of people in a bug context, if they (are a member of a team which) holds an official role within the project, the emblem of that team should be displayed with their name. For example, teams with upload privileges to the distribution containing a package (for distro bugs), or bug contacts for the product, package or distro.
This would make their role clear to anyone looking at the bug, and help to lend authority to their statements, without the problem of cluttering the display with all of the user's emblems (many of which might not be relevant). |
It sometimes happens that a well-intentioned community member responds inappropriately to a bug filed by a developer. For example, by rejecting the bug, or asking for additional information when the problem is well understood by the relevant developers.
Additionally, in a bug with many comments, it is difficult to distinguish authoritative information from comments by arbitrary Launchpad users.
To address these and related problems, I propose the following:
When displaying the name of the bug reporter or the author of a comment, IF they are a member of a team which holds an official role within the project, the emblem of that team should be displayed with their name. For example, teams with upload privileges to the distribution containing a package (for distro bugs), or bug contacts for the product, package or distro.

Testing reassignment behaviour of milestone in production. Sorry for the spam. But for anyone truly interested in this bug, I will start on it as soon as OfficialProjectMembersSpec is approved. |

I'm pushing this back two releases because I have no approval to work on the OfficialProjectMembers spec, and my 1.1.9 bugs will take most of my development time. |

We have not committed to work on this so I removed the milestone. |
The launchpad-registry must provide the infrastructure to answer the question who is a project contributor before this feature can be added. |
