ATTN: xubuntu-doc lp team

Hi,

I'm adding the mailing list to this, hopefully there is enough context
in the quote and my text.

We definitely need to find a resolution to this. I think that the
various -doc teams should have common policies, so that if the xubuntu
team feels that having an open team helps in some way, then we should
try and address that by having open teams, and more restricted teams
which have the relevant commit rights.

Currently there are three sub teams of ubuntu-doc: edubuntu-doc,
xubuntu-doc and ubuntu-wiki. I'm not entirely comfortable with any of
these having rights to do whatever ubuntu-doc members can do, for
example if we move to bzr or begin using the PPA regularly.

Is there a disadvantage in keeping these teams separate, and applying
a moderated/restricted policy to each of them?
