Assigning a bug to you means you intend to fix the bug yourself,
I don't think that's your intent so you may want to unassign it.

It created a local copy of the branch hosted at launchpad.

    Curtis> That's what the website said to do.) It reported:

    Curtis> You have not informed bzr of your launchpad

Presumably launchpad (lp) found it in some commit an created an
account for it. But since it did that from incomplete
information, it is, well, incomplete.

    Curtis> so I tried that but got an error:

    Curtis> % bzr launchpad-login skip-pobox
    Curtis> bzr: ERROR: The user skip-pobox has not registered any SSH keys with Launchpad.

In particular it miss an ssh key which is the mean used to
authenticate a user when given him *write* access.

    Curtis> Now I'm completely stumped. I am logged in on the
    Curtis> website thanks to my Mac's keychain, but I can't tell
    Curtis> how in the world I'm supposed to upload ssh keys.

See https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair

    Curtis> I'm not even 100% sure that "skip-pobox" is my actual
    Curtis> login. I couldn't find anything that looked like a
    Curtis> help page or a page of frequently asked questions on
    Curtis> launchpad.net.

You don't have to keep that account, you can create a new one and
then merge into your new, shiny, defined as *you* want it to be
:)
