Owner

A user can define groups, and add other users to them.

The owner of an item can assign, as part of the per-item metadata, one or more groups per item.
(Alternatively, groups could be implemented as special lists, but that seems like too much overloading of API and UI)

Everyone in a group has the same rights as the user that created it, with regards to

finding the items (when hidden)
editing the items' metadata
editing, within the group's items, each other's annotations
deleting the items
managing the group

There is also a use case for being able to share lists with specific groups (as opposed to with nobody or everybody), namely sharing lists of buggy items among admins.
