Membership of kubuntu-dev implies membership of kubuntu-members.  Asking in #ubuntu-devel just now

10:30 < xnox> Riddell: to become a developer, one needs to show a
              sustained contribution for more than one cycle, so yeah
              6+ months is requirement for developers.

Allowing informal membership of kubuntu-packagers and kubuntu-ppa is a
nice stepping stone to tell people they are valued and trusted
contributors before we can give them full -membership or -dev
privilages.

(And I still think 6 months is too long for -membership or -dev,
building community needs letting people in without too much barrier,
one of the aims of Ubuntu was to allow a lower barrier of entry than
Debian.)
