Yeah, we can introduce the generic user-group model and link groups to projects, or we can skip the generic groups and do a somewhat custom user-vs-project thing.

What I am thinking about is how do we combine the ability of users to self-register and the user-vs-project restrictions. It seems we will have to give bugtracker admin a choice of either running an open bugtracking system, a closed bugtracking system (i.e. disable self-registration capability altogether), or a combined one. In the latter case we will have to support an explicit marking of a project as publicly accessible.

Personally, I think the combined case is a little farfetched and mightn't be needed in real life cases. I mean, you are either running an internal bugtracker with your customers coming from outside and restricted to specific projects, or you are running an open source project and do not actually care about any such restrictions. What do you think?
