Bug Description

Launchpad is starting to get used more, Sturgeon's Revelation is exerting itself, and we're starting to get people registering bug trackers that don't exist or aren't being used. (Current examples include "The Fatal Network Bug Tracker" and "Phi Bug Tracker".)

As specified in <https://launchpad.canonical.com/MaloneExpertsTeam>, it should be possible for Malone Experts to delete bugtrackers from the Launchpad interface. There should also be an obvious way for non-MEs to request such a deletion.

I don't see anywhere in MET that mentions deleting BT's, but yes, I agree that humans make mistakes (even aliens make mistakes) and Malone does very little to accomodate that.

There hasn't been a great rush to add bogus bugtrackers. We can bump this up in priority when this becomes a problem, though.

We do get a few duplicate bug trackers now, so let's try to get this fixed. Let's keep it simple, though, and only allow admins to remove the bug trackers.

Although, if we require the bug trackers not to have any bug watches, and not be linked to any projects, maybe it wouldn't hurt to allow anyone to delete a bug tracker?
