Make ~ubuntu-dev a member of ubuntu-universe-sponsors?

[James Westby]

Hi,

After seeing several people asking to join the sponsors team in the
last few days, presumably purely so that they can un-subscribe the 
team from bugs, I wanted to suggest removing the need to do that.

My proposal is simply to make ~ubuntu-dev (or should it be ~motu
and ~ubuntu-core-dev individually?) to the team. This would mean
that anyone with upload rights would automatically be a member of
the team.

~ubuntu-universe-sponsors has a mailing list, so it should lead
to zero extra mails (well, maybe one when it is added), and will
remove this obstacle to sponsoring.

The decision is up to the administrators of the two teams I guess,
but if no-one can come up with a good reason not to do it then I
will request the change in a week or so.

Thanks,

James
