Comment (by tellyworth):

 Just a quick note in response to questions elsewhere.

 This could be implemented by storing the owner's user_id in an option.  My
 reasons for using a role instead are:

 1. In conjunction with the user_role table in #5540, it becomes very easy
 to find the owner of a blog, or all blogs owned by a specific user in an
 MU install.  Just a simple lookup or join on the user_role table "WHERE
 role='owner'".

 2. Because it's a role it's easy to do a current_user_can() check.
