I declined an application to ~ubuntu-doc-contributors today. Noticed
that the Launchpad account had been created today, and it had already
joined a lot of teams.

~ubuntu-doc-contributors does not give you access to anything; it's
accidentally moderated. Still don't want to see spammers in the members
list.

Then it's deliberate sabotage, so we'd better stop referring to them as
"spammers"; they are scoundrels.

I hope so too. Earlier today I spent a couple of hours on a page in the
community help wiki, and I just saved a local copy in case the current
help wiki will be replaced with a backup.
