Comment 1 for bug 96751

I confirm, this is very confusing.

Just today, I went WTF when Launchpad told me "You are not the bug assignee nor the maintainer of launchpad-bazaar (upstream), and therefore cannot edit this bug's status.". This is wrong, I am the goddamn maintainer and I can edit the bug status. I just need to log in.

The UI suggestion of mpt makes a lot of sense. At least, please fix the message soon to prevent the WTF effect.
