Another thing I've just noticed we'll have to keep in mind is that in
these per-project lists, users won't be able to do mass-state-changes
unless they're the maintainers of the project in question.  We could
change generic_list() to behave differently and always include the
state-changing form, but this seems to me like yet another indication
that generic_list() may not be the appropriate thing to use here.
