Giving upload rights to non-Ubuntu members

[Martin Pitt]

Hello all,

as I can't join the next meeting, my vote by email.

It makes sense to decouple membership from PPA for those "occasional
fix" types, i. e. what we intend to by letting DDs who ask for it
upload their packages to Ubuntu. Either these people are satisfied
with that, or this could be a means to get said credentials for
"sustained contributions" and eventually reach ~u-member status.

+1 on this provided that memberships have to be regularly renewed and
that CoC still needs to be signed, but both of these points have
already been discussed in the thread and agreed upon.

Thanks,

Martin
