Bug Description

It is currently possible for any member of a team to make that team a bug security contact. This may cause problems if a large team is registered as the security contact for a large project with frequent security bugs.

This is similar to, but not the same as, the problem described in bug 109652.

Only team admininstrators should have the power to register (or unregister) a team as a bug security contact.

Hmmm. But hang on. Aren't only project owners/admins actually able to set up security contacts? If so, this bug has very limited impact.

I'm lowering the priority of this bug, since as kiko points out, this bug has very limited impact.
