(you can disregard my private mail in response to the Launchpad change, now
that I've seen this explanation)

It seems a little bit awkward for ubuntu-core-dev to be a member of
xubuntu-devel, but so long as this team is only used for those branches, I
don't see a problem with it.  It probably shouldn't receive any email
notifications, have an emblem, etc.
