Comment 3 for bug 251834

The problem with calling .owner "registrant" was that often it wasn't true. Currently, Launchpad doesn't know who registered a project, and it will continue not to know unless it starts recording that information read-only.

The problem with calling .owner "owner" or "maintainer" is that it's not true for placeholder projects. For example, Launchpad claims that I'm the "Maintainer" of Mozilla, but that has never been true. (Mozilla is a project group, but the same would apply to projects.)

I was going to suggest that we show .owner as "Maintainer" if the project uses Launchpad for development. But I see a prominent counterexample: Firefox doesn't use Launchpad for development, but <https://launchpad.net/firefox> claims that it uses Launchpad for Code and Translations. Is this a problem with the suggestion, or a problem with the counterexample? (The Firefox page also claims that Firefox's driver is Ubuntu's Mozilla team, which is obviously false.)
