Thanks for bringing this up; it's an old wart which deserves to be
addressed.  The issues to resolve are:

1. Clarifying the presentation of the existing resource, which is a
Canonical one.  This is for Canonical to deal with, but I think it can be
handled through the Community Council.

2. How/when/whether we can provide a similar service to a broader subset of
Ubuntu contributors, and which subset that should be.  This seems like a
joint Canonical / Community Council issue which should be brought before the
Council.

So in the end, both of these are CC matters.
