Bug Description

Branches related to a bug appear below the bug description and before the bug comments. This breaks up the flow of conversation on the bug. Also, the relative lack of colour in the related branches table means that it can easily be missed.

The "Related Branch" column lists the current state of the branch (or is it the bug's state?) rather than some sort of name for the branch. The "Developer" column doesn't provide any links to the developer. The revision hint column is never used.

I'd suggest the following columns:
 * branch name (hyperlinked to branch page)
 * status (hyperlinked to bugbranch +status page)
 * branch owner or author, formatted with fmt:link.

The current layout makes it particularly difficult to find the branch, which is the whole point of making the linkage.

Matthew: are you still working on this? If not, I can try and fit it in for this cycle.

tested OK (the branch table now appears _above_ the bug description, and it shows the relevant columns)
