Good point. Will fix.

I'll find something.

I'll take another look. There's already a "browser" instance which is
used for (I think) non-authenticated access but I didn't realise there
was already a "user_browser" instance.

Really? I copied the above code from elsewhere :-)
I'll fix it.

It's not needed here. The above is for the BudFeed class. This bit above
is to catch the case where user manages to bypass the disabled rss
button via url hacking or inline ajax editing. The (soon to be renamed)
feed_allowed is used in the BugFeedLink class to prevent the rss button
from being enabled as the page is loaded.

I'd start out by saying "This branch is private" and then say something more general like "Feeds do not serve private bugs."

Ok. I'll reword it. I just used whatever wording was already being used
for the Unauthorised exception.

I don't mind. I'm grateful for the comments and am pleased to be able to
produce better code.
