Reassignment of ubuntu-drivers permissions

[Brian Murray]

I've done some research into the permissions associated with the
ubuntu-drivers team in Launchpad and have some ideas about how the
permissions for performing actions should be redistributed.  Before
moving forward I wanted to ensure that this seems reasonable.

Some background information: the Launchpad bug report about this is LP:
#174375.  We currently have the ubuntu-drivers team fulfilling two roles in
Launchpad for Ubuntu - both the distribution maintainer and the driver.  Some
other roles that we have available for assigning permission include the
distribution bug supervisor (ubuntu-bugcontrol effectively) and the release
manager for a series.  At this point in time we don't seem to be using the
release manager as one is not currently set for Maverick.  Perhaps
the ubuntu-release team is good fit for this particular role.

I think the ability to perform specific actions should be distributed to the
following teams:

set package bug guidelines - bug supervisor (ubuntu-bugcontrol)
set package bug acknowledgements - bug supervisor (ubuntu-bugcontrol)
set official bug tags - bug supervisor  (ubuntu-bugcontrol)
    This may result in a large number of official bug tags so they should be
monitored.

approve bug nominations - release manager
target bugs to a milestone - release manager
    This is currently assigned to bug control which hasn't been an issue but
should be fixed as long is doesn't exclude uploaders.

approve blueprints - distribution driver (ubuntu-drivers)
edit all of a specification - distribution driver (ubuntu-drivers)
control agenda for a sprint  - distribution driver (ubuntu-drivers)

An additional target of opportunity might be restricting it so that only the
bug supervisor can nominate bugs for a release so that the release managers
have a smaller subset of nominations to review.
