Hello. Maybe it's too late, but I'm wondering: why can't anyone delete bugtasks except bug supervisors for a specific project?

Consider the following two use cases:

1. I accidentally added a project and want to revert the mistake;
2. I want to "cleanup" a bug which affects too many uneeded bugtasks.

Both use cases are pretty common in my experience.

Hi Andrea
Both case are considered and are legitimate and supported. Members of the launchpad-beta-team can do this now.
1. Anyone who added the project or distro to a bug an also remove it to fix their mistake.
2. The maintainer, driver, and bug supervisor may delete their project from a bug.

You cannot remove another project from a bug. This is a problem if the bug does affect your project, but the other project's contributors are ignoring it.
