I think it's a fair point that UCD is confusing.  What it means is "Ubuntu 
member that got their membership based on development contribution and not 
some other kind".  Do we really need a different name for this?  It might be 
more clear to just have the DMB grant Ubuntu membership by name rather than 
have a separate name/team that doesn't actually mean anything different.
