well, anyone who is an Ubuntu member [1] can have a @ubuntu.com email
address.  So some of these "people" can be people in actually  charge,
or Ubuntu developpers, or simple members of the community doing all
sort of  stuff in the Ubuntu community  (artwork, testing, LoCo teams,
etc).

For a concrete example, I could write all day long about Java licenses
with my @ubuntu.com email address, but it doesn't mean I know anything
about the topic (I don't),  have any form of influence on the
decision-making process about it at Canonical, nor what I would write
implies any kind of official position from Ubuntu/Canonical (It
doesn't).
