Hmm... Yes, there does indeed seem to be a bit of a dichotomy here.
Thanks for bringing this up!

I think this is the right approach. Perhaps a good start would be to
move (at least some of) the branches belonging to ubuntu-dev to be owned
by universe-contributors.  However, it seems that this would effectively
revoke ubuntu-core-dev's access to said branches since MOTU (not
ubuntu-dev) is a member of universe-contributors. I wonder if this is
intentional?
