Comment 9 for bug 460980

I See. Yes the series.driver is a special driver, he is also called the release manager and has more privileges. We had requests to create a release manager role, which overlapped with the driver role. Many developers did not know that the driver role was like a release manager. We changes the UI a few months ago to use the term Release manager which is a term more common in software development. We also gave the person/team in that direct role the power to do what he is expected to do--plan and manage the entire series. See http://blog.launchpad.net/general/more-power-to-the-release-manager
