No ... please. Let's eventually de-couple our meta information handling
from the bug handling in Mantis - not work it even more deeper into it.

I would have wanted to assign global maintainer privileges to all CSW
maintainers for a while now, so that bug handling across
packages/projects gets easier. Currently though, our
"package-to-maintainer" mapping is based on those privileges in Mantis,
so I can't easily manage permissions in Mantis without risking to mess
up the mappings.

Any specifics on what you would need from a package release perspective?
