Comment 6 for bug 162754

We talked about adding about adding a button or checkbox to to this workflow for users to state they are not the maintainer. I suggested the "[x] I am not the owner". Barry and Martin did not like this because to complicated the form and the use is ambiguous.

Why is the user registering a project if he is not the owner? If it is to file a bug, he can do it from the bug page and he will not not the owner. The only other use case that we know of is registering a project to mirror code, and we want to add this feature.

Since we fixed the bug scenario, there are very few users giving up projects. So Barry and Martin's point may be correct.

I agree this bug cannot be closed until the code use case of covered. If there are other use cases, I think we should reconsider adding a checkbox (or an action button) that lets the user clearly state he is not the owner.
