Launchpad team management

[Freddy Martinez]

I like the way the team is now (people have to be added). It will make the
team members look back at the commits, where they came from etc. I think the
biggest problem is getting information across to people of where to send
patches / documentation etc. Also, where do we fit in the other areas of doc
work (wiki for example)? This may become problematic when we focus only on
system documentation.
