I'd say that delegation of authority isn't bugster's long suit.  It
was designed for an environment where there's a central IT group, and
everyone has to work through them to make changes.

On the plus side, this means that if someone is proposing a category
that's questionable in nature (such as "other" or "generic" -- the
sorts of no-zip-sorting-bins where bugs go to die -- or "foobar1.2" --
using extraneous version information), someone can clue in the
proposer before too much damage is done.

I think a more distributed approach (making category "owners"
responsible for subcategories) would probably be more fitting for
OpenSolaris.

Can you watch who is watching for watchers?  ;-}
