Seems that us normal users can't change or even see this. So the use of
milestones on bugs is not really useful, because the bug reporter can't
tell what milestone has been set for his bug (at least through the UI,
he can do it through email), and the bug triager can't change it unless
he is in ubuntu-drivers (and very few triagers of (say) ubuntu-docs bugs
are).

Maybe someone can add this, although it's not going to be really useful
until normal users can see the target for a bug.
