It's certainly an interesting proposal. One might also consider adding
u-u-c instead, so that they actually get additional development related
privileges without actually affecting Ubuntu proper. This was, after
all, part of the originial intent of that team, as per the announcement:

Quote:

   While the specific entitlements granted to this team are still
   expanding, the intent is to allow most development activities that do
   not specifically require upload to the archives or extensive
   experience with package management to be performed by members of this
   team.  In addition to other efforts underway, I would like to
   encourage anyone maintaining a VCS for Ubuntu packaging of a universe
   package to consider using this team in place of ~ubuntu-dev as a
   source of acceptable committers.

I don't think we should decide. We can make a recommendation, but I
think the teams are too diverse and the use of their respective PPA's is
too diverse as well to make a general decision.
