In this specific case the expiration warning (even if it does contain a note
saying the person will still be an indirect member) will be useless (IMHO),
since they won't do anything about the soon-to-expire membership, so I think
it'd be better to remove the direct members rather then waiting for them to
expire.

If you prefer to let them expire, please let me know so that I can land a
workaround for https://launchpad.net/bugs/85409 which doesn't require a DB
patch. Otherwise I'd prefer to fix it properly (with a DB patch) and wait
until the drought finishes to land it.

It'd be nice to have this, I think. Just filed launchpad.net/bugs/88488 so
that I don't forget about it.
