They're not documented to my knowledge.  Here's their meanings:

watchbugzilla: You'll be put on the initialCC list for new bugs
watchcommits: You will receive an email when someone commits to this branch.
commit: You have access to commit to the package in cvs
approveacls: You can approve and deny the any of these acls for other 
people.

All together, these are the possible actions that the owner of a package 
has.
