- Implement new .status format that's extensible and easier to read; it
now lives in .summary rather than .status. Use debbugs-upgradestatus
to convert existing bug databases.
- - Implement bug ownership, with new 'owner' and 'noowner' commands
- (closes: #133453).
+ - Implement bug ownership, with new 'owner' and 'noowner' commands and
+ Owner: pseudo-header (closes: #133453).
- Install Debian configuration in the binary package's examples

+<h2><a name="owner">Changing $gBug ownership</a></h2>
+
+<p>In cases where the person responsible for fixing a $gBug is not the
+assigned maintainer for the associated package (for example, when the
+package is maintained by a team), it may be useful to record this fact
+in the $gBug tracking system. To help with this, each $gBug may
+optionally have an owner.
+
+<p>The owner can be set by supplying an <code>Owner</code> line in the
+pseudo-header when the $gBug is submitted (see the
+<a href="Reporting.html#pseudoheader">instructions for reporting
+$gBugs</a>),
+or by using the <code>owner</code> and <code>noowner</code> commands
+with the <a href="#requestserv">control request server</a>.

<h2>Summary postings</h2>
<p>Every Friday, a list of outstanding $gBug reports is posted to a summary
<p>It is possible to reassign $gBug reports to other packages, to reopen
erroneously-closed ones, to modify the information saying to where, if
anywhere, a $gBug report has been forwarded, to change the severities
-and titles of reports and to merge and unmerge $gBug reports. This is
-done by sending mail to <code>control\@$gEmailDomain</code>.
