I'm aware of that.  I tend to think of Ubuntu when I think of Launchpad.
   Yes, there are other projects hosted there.

I say that matter-of-factly not as a criticism.  I had a few small
patches to a jump table for Feisty and Gutsy (#90771 and #139045).  The
last of which I think is only coming through now because the 2.6.27
kernel is being used for Intrepid.   When the patches didn't get in from
 Launchpad, I looked at the size of the team and the amount of work and
understood.
