Hi,

The DMB has no control over ~ubuntu-mozilla-daily or ~ubuntu-mozilla so
you'll have to directly deal with the current team owners and
administrators as those aren't official Ubuntu teams
as managed by the CC, TB or DMB (nor should they).

As for the PPU application, you'll have to prepare a wiki page for it
and send us the link to the list, then add yourself to the agenda of one
of our meetings (note that we need at least a week notice).

Thanks
