Bug Supervisors

The bug supervisor is a person or team that is responsible for bug management in a project or in a distribution.

A common pattern is to create a project-qa team, containing the developers and other people who want to help with bug management. For very large projects the bug supervisor may be only a subset of the developers.

Being bug supervisor (or a member of a bug supervisor team) has the following powers:

• Can set bugs to Triaged state, indicating that the project team has accepted they will work on the bug. (Other users can only set it to Confirmed.)
• Automatically subscribed to all bugs in that project/distro. (Other users can subscribe to bug mail, or can subscribe to particular bugs.)
• Can see all private bugs in that project/distro. (Other users can only see those they're subscribed to.)
• Cannot target bugs to a milestone or to a series. (Only project drivers/owners/release managers can do this.)

There are two restrictions when you appoint a bug supervisor:

• Only the project/distribution owner may appoint the bug supervisor.
• You can only appoint yourself or a team which you administer.
