No option to say a project group uses Launchpad bug tracker

Bug #87228 reported by Martin Pool

Affects Status Importance Assigned to Milestone
Launchpad itself
Triaged
Low
Unassigned

Bug Description

One of the fields about a project is "Bug tracker: The bug tracker the products in this project use."

  https://beta.launchpad.net/bazaar/+edit

There's no option to say that it uses Launchpad! This is very strange, and may cause people to enter the wrong value or just be confused.

I presume "(no value)" really means "Launchpad"? Maybe this can be fixed by just changing that text?

Actually it might be good to give Launchpad extra prominence by making it radio buttons:

 Bug tracker: (help)
   (*) Launchpad
   (*) Other bug tracker: [-------]
   (*) None / none known

(The Translations equivalent is bug 160432.)

Products have the radiobuttons you describe, so it's weird that Projects don't. Not High importance, though, since there are so few Projects.

Changed in launchpad:
importance: Undecided → Medium
status: Unconfirmed → Confirmed

I do not think we want to do this. It is not important to say where the official bug tracker is, not that is Launchpad.
Being able to say *all* projects in this project group use Launchpad might be nice, but someone must still configure the projects to set other bug configuration information.
