I see "Bundling" too, but I also have a similar box labeled "Properties"
on my view. Notably, I only see the "Properties" (with "Change State",
"Delegate to" and "Archive" drop-downs) on linux-mtd [1] for which I'm a
maintainer. But I don't see it on uboot [2], for which I'm not a
maintainer.

My best guess is that some functions are reserved for project
maintainers, and the web interface only gives access to maintainers (I
believe non-maintainers are typically given permission to change the
status of their own patches, but this portion of the UI may have been
overlooked). Maybe Jeremy knows better.
