It's a subtle point, but it's one I think that can be fixed with a
wording tweak - I get wraeth's point about users requesting
stabilisation of a package, which is quite true .. so I think the
wording of the final point here might be better as something like "...
to request stabilisation of a package by the Arch Teams" or such.

After all, we're basically talking about the correct authority to CC the
arch teams on the stabilisation bugs, vs filing a stabilisation bug,
right? [which also might warrant mentioning/clarifying at another stage].

It's a minor point, but may be clearer exactly what's being indicated,
rather than creating confusion or misinterpretation.

HTH,
