    Thank you.  I can understand how our documentation can lead to
that understanding.  I suppose I just don't understand which of the
above activities cannot be done by any Ubuntu Contributor.  Some of
them are made easier by membership in the MOTU group, but at least
helping new MOTUs, helping with new features, review, bug triage, QA,
and development can be done by anybody, and MOTU membership shouldn't
impact one's ability to do them.  If there is a barrier to any of
those activities, I'd like to know, as I believe it to be a bug in our
permissions hierarchy.
