for 3) I would say rather that if you resurrect the branch, launchpad
should be able to alert people who are tracking that feature. This
functionality isn't finished in launchpad yet though :(.

The main reasons I was saying I think its a good idea are 1) and 2) - 1)
because the supermirror is very rarely offline ;), and 2) because we
have been dropping branches to merge here and there. Launchpad's
aggregation point allows me to quickly see what branches claim to need
merging - the 'mature' branches are those ones.
At the moment the launchpad UI doesn't add a *great* deal of value over
a wiki page - though it is more scalable - but that is in the pipeline
to be improved (and any suggestions will be considered seriously too).
Cheers,
Rob
