HI WIlliam,
sorry for bad terminology - but yes it is about targeting bugs to series when triaging.
E.g. when you find that an issue was fixed in one, but still is open in another release.
Thanks for your help to clarifying this - linking the ubuntu-release-nominators certainly helped to understand.

Currently by the ubuntu-server team membership allows us to "Nominate for series" on bugs that we are allowed to triage.
When nominating for a series I there see the comment "Bug nominations are evaluated by release managers and accepted or declined for fixing in a series. The Ubuntu release manager is Ubuntu Drivers."
Ok, here things now make sense and match to what you explained.

So to confirm this understanding and its implications:
- getting membership in "Ubuntu Drivers" Team would allow to target bugs to series (and not only nominate them as we currently can)?
- is there any other privilege associated with "Ubuntu Drivers" that would blur the lines regarding requesting access in that group for bug targeting?
- is the scope of Ubuntu Drivers permission to target bugs global to all packages (or only to all you are allowed to triage)?
- if so, could there be a "Ubuntu Server Drivers" to allow targeting bugs for only a subset of packages?
