Identify and implement improvements for finding bugs that affect hardware

Registered by Brian Murray

There has been some significant work on the hardware database in Launchpad and relating hardware profiles to bugs. However, it is not accessible to most developers and this greatly reduces its utility. Remaining blockers to wide spread use of it will be identified and resolved.

Whiteboard

Work items:
[abel] Add Brian Murray to the hwdb-team: DONE
Determine if all of canonical-ubuntu-platform should be a member of the hwdb-team: DONE
Determine if "hardware_is_linked_to_bug='True'" is working now (bug 379393, bug 424382): DONE
Test existing scripts for timing / performance issues: DONE
Write up a nice README to document existing HWDB scripts we have, what they do, and how to use them: DONE
Send an email to the platform team ml for anyone who may be interested: DONE
Restrict hwdb searches to just a bug *reporters* profile (modify subscribed-bugs-of-device-owners.py): DONE

Status details:
Hardware is being linked to bug reports now but this is regularly inaccessible due to bug 531003. Additionally, as checkbox is generating unsubmitted submission ids (bug 530380), the relationship between bugs and hardware will likely be incomplete.
