Bug Description

Malone currently doesn't allow deleting attachments.

To let users fix their mistakes, and for possibly other reasons, deleting attachments should be allowed.

If deleting is considered harmful, it should at least be possible to obselete attachments as Bugzilla does.

It seems that currently this allows any logged in users to delete any attachments. I think this should be restricted to allowing any logged in user to delete their own attachments, or any member of the Launchpad Admins team to delete any attachment.

I guess that's quite sensible, although I think bug contacts should be
able to delete attachments as well. The main reason for that is that
theres a re-tracing service for Ubuntu's crash reports, which should be
able to delete the attached core dumps. Until we have a proper crash
database, it needs to have permission to delete other people's
attachments.

I think it's better to open a new bug, since it's a different bug. The
original bug was about the possibility to delete attachments, which has
been fixed.
