I think Daniel was referring to adding bug tasks (e.g. adding a metacity task to
a bug in gtk+). That's what I was thinking in the beginning too :)

Here I guess you mean adding tasks for Gutsy/Feisty...? If so, that's right, I
think only ~ubuntu-dev can do so for packages in universe/multiverse, and
~ubuntu-core-dev for main/restricted. Those teams are specified in Uploaders at

If there's a need for this we could schedule a session for this at UDS
