Right, so the final step is to change the Owner, which is the role the
CC currently fills. The Owner has slightly more privileges than
regular Administrators:

"Administrator: Can add, approve or reject members. They can subscribe
the team to bugs, branches, and blueprints.

Owner: The owner can change the team's description and membership
rules, and appoint team admins. The owner is also an administrator by
default, but can choose to leave the team."

You're right, I've been conflating the two and that's a mistake.

If others on the doc team are comfortable with this it's fine by me.
