No, but it *is* a place for someone who wants to work on Qt/KDE
packaging to coordinate their efforts with people who are also
focused on Qt/KDE packaging. I didn't read it as "please leave
#ubuntu-motu" but rather, "here's a suggested place to go (in addition
to #ubuntu-motu) to get in contact with people who have more knowledge
of the specific idioms of the package you're looking at", but perhaps
I'm extending the benefit of the doubt too generously.

I would hope that we encourage MOTU members to coordinate their efforts
in specific areas with people who are already working in those areas.
