Actually, only users with editbugs privs are allowed to "Change Several Bugs at
Once":

http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/webtools/bugzilla/buglist.cgi#881

$vars->{'caneditbugs'} = UserInGroup('editbugs');



http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/webtools/bugzilla/template/en/default/list/list.html.tmpl#148

        [% IF bugs.size > 1 && caneditbugs && !dotweak %]
          <a href="buglist.cgi?[% urlquerypart FILTER html %]
            [%- "&order=$qorder" FILTER html IF order %]&amp;tweak=1"
            >Change&nbsp;Several&nbsp;[% terms.Bugs %]&nbsp;at&nbsp;Once</a>
          |
        [% END %]


Users without editbugs privs who are the owner of several bugs in the current
bug list should be able to edit them at once (for these bugs only, of course)
anyway.

This does not harm, gives no additional privs to users, adds no new UI, but is
very useful.
In response to justdave's fear that newbies could do dangerous things, we should
add a warning at the top of the page if !UserInGroup('editbugs').

I'll propose a patch for this.

I like that. And I think our QA people would like it even more if they could do
it as well, not only the owners :-)
