The possibility of retargeting a bug should be made more obvious

Actually, if you look at that bug, that's not what happened. The bug
was originally filed on Malone, and then someone opened up a task for
Launchpad for some reason.

Bug 35246 shows an example of how hard is to find out how to re-target tasks in malone and how frustrating that could be.

The bug was initially opened on Launchpad:

   https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/private/launchpad-bugs/2006-July/
015471.html

But that's an aside; the point is that there are two bugtasks on two
different products--one Rejected--when it was intended to be just
one, and the limpness of our retargeting UI is the likely culprit.
