Comment 4 for bug 162754

According to your comment, this is fixed. According to your status change, it is invalid. I have retested this on staging, and it seems to be neither. My steps:
1. Go to an Ubuntu bug report that is not marked as affecting upstream, e.g. <https://bugs.staging.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ebox-network/+bug/411470>.
2. Choose "Also affects project".
3. Try to select a project that is not in Launchpad yet.

There is no interface element anywhere on the page suggesting that you can register a project. And entering an unregistered ID returns the error: "There is no project in Launchpad named 'eboxify'. Please search for it as it may be registered with a different name." Again, there is no indication that you can register the project.
