Community flavors and new images

[Steve Langasek]

Hi folks,

In light of the recent activity on clarifying policies and procedures for
new flavors, I thought it was appropriate to bring this question to the TB
for review.

The Xubuntu team are proposing to have a new official Xubuntu image called
Xubuntu Minimal (né Core) and have raised MPs to get it landed on the
centralized build infrastructure
(https://code.launchpad.net/~xubuntu-dev/debian-cd/+git/debian-cd/+merge/435314
et al).

In the past, flavors (including Ubuntu) have introduced new images without
requiring additional TB approval; e.g., Kubuntu Active, Lubuntu Next, and
the Ubuntu Desktop canary image.  These were all handled directly through
the Release Team.

I think this makes sense, because there are no governance questions here; if
there is already a flavor team responsible for one image, we just need to
make sure they're taking responsibility for 2, with the existing team, seed
structure, etc.

Do you agree?

Thanks,
