'bts owner', probably (because it'll be allowed to take an e-mail address so that you can pass a bug on your own package off to somebody else), but yes. It'll be documented that claiming ownership of a bug on somebody else's package is more or less equivalent in courtesy terms to declaring that you're going to NMU.
