err, what? I dont understand why you even bring that up.
Maybe you should look again at the mantis database level setup?
mantis supports both "global manager" priviledges, and
project-specific manager privileges.
that's how we do things right now. "proj-specific mananger" == "owner".

mantis supports having more than one "proj-specific manager".

So there would be no fixes needed to mantis itself.
It would need code changes to the package "registration" process,and
changes to the "package web page display" code.

But both of those things will need changes anyway, if we ever support
multiple people "owning" a package.
