Now that I've read the input, I find that in many significant respects it
does not reflect my interests as a MOTU.  As an example, "Do an emergent
"heat" on PPA's, which would quietly factor in downloads, subscribers,
karma of uploaders etc." is listed as #3.  I'm fairly certain as a MOTU I
really don't care.  Another example is "Soyuz instant messenger buddy
(XMPP). For notifications of important events like build failures.
Probably not limited to Soyuz."  I know I don't need that.  Email works
great for this stuff.

I agree with the #1 on the list.

I think the general emphasis on PPAs is not relevant for MOTU.

I'd like to see stuff about buildd's being more reliable and actually
working (as an example, https://bugs.launchpad.net/soyuz/+bug/311952 is
not even on the list).

I do not think this can be considered a MOTU input.
