I'm not sure I see the difference between the two use cases. Would
you behave differently depending on whether someone is in ~ubuntu-dev
and ~uus, or just ~ubuntu-dev?

The people in ~uus are just those that sponsor regularly (though it's
only syncs where being in the team usually matters, and even then not
that much), but I am worried that the small hurdle of joining the extra
team puts people off sponsoring, and so reinforces that.

Thanks,
