Bug Description

We have converted PackageBugContact to StructuralSubscription, on the assumption that the two are identical, but the bug contact relation is used for more than just subscription, and the terminology is getting confusing. Also, the behaviour is subtly different - since it's possible to unsubscribe from notifications (but in such cases we probably want to keep the bug contact, as we do with other structural objects).

This bug covers creating a DistributionSourcePackage table, and adding to it a bug supervisor role which would have the same elevated privileges as a Distribution or Product bug supervisor, except restricted to bugs on that package.

See bug 262898 and bug 503682

No, this looks to me like we need a DistributionSourcePackage table..

To clarify, I said that because I'm arguing for a DistributionSourcePackage.bug_supervisor (if we choose that over bugcontact). I think there's actually another bug that covers that, but I can't find it.

Hah -- there's bug 118708, which argues for allowing "maintainers" to manage their bugs. My comment there is trying to figure out if we can actually find that out programatically.

Hi William.

Fell free to unassign yourself if you don't think this bug is invalid/wont fix now. I think your work to ensure the bug supervisor only gets triage permissions may make this invalid. Please tag the bug with "disclosure sharing" if we can claim credit for closing this bug.

It's possibly less necessary today, as bug supervisors only get the restricted edit rights, so it's more reasonable to grant them widely. But it'd still probably be useful to have package-specific teams.
