So, now because I'm working on a bug, I need to become a Master Of The
Universe?

Somehow I think that this is counter productive. I don't feel that I
know enough about the inner workings of Ubuntu to do that membership
justice. I can see a time in the future where that may well be the case,
but right now, I'm just fixing bugs.

I suspect that there are many contributors who would feel uncomfortable
with the requirement you are outlining.

I think that the suggestion made by Phillip Susi would solve the problem
without the memberships you are outlining.
