I don't think that this is a helpful fix. It's extremely helpful to have the information about the version, the maintainer, the uploader, etc, like we had before in an obvious location, so that we can see it at a glance. Having to click, and even then only see part of the information, is suboptimal.

MOTU (particularly those sponsoring other people's work) regularly looks at this to determine a) who the last uploader was, b) what the most recent version was (to determine if it was a sync from debian, or has ubuntu changes), and a few other bits. A link to developer changelog would be very helpful too - MOTU's often end up looking up the changelogs, but that can go in a separate bug.

We can get this information from other places as well, but it is handy to have it in one place, right there when the bug is loaded.

I'd like to see the entire panel put back as it was before. If you're looking to remove panels, why not get rid of the big bug tag panels, or the search? (seeing as there's a global search up the top).
