An integration with Launchpad among other things could potentially
enable a quick push-button ACK process, that depending on
implementation could automatically allow such things from people
qualified to give them based on group membership, and when a
sufficient number is attained automatically upload the package from
something like a PPA to the regular build service.

I acknowledge that the *right now* need should be addressed first, and
numerous things would need to be added to or improved on in LP for
this to work well for us, but I do see a very significant potential in
using LP for such things.

While I'm at it, insert obligatory "That said, I would feel much more
comfortable expanding our dependence on Launchpad if it were
open-source" statement here.
