That's where I first formally raised the question in June of 2009.  Curtis
Hovey helped us to assemble a list of the privileges actually held by this
team, and we explained how the corresponding tasks are actually done in the
Ubuntu project (and by whom).

With a slight revision to your question, yes, I do see a point in discussing
ideas for how to solve problems, even if the Launchpad team hasn't decided
to write any code yet.

Beyond "yes we will write code now" or "no we will not write code now",
perhaps there are suggestions for how we could better cope with the way
Launchpad works today?
