Re-reading this again, I seem to have an misunderstanding what the kubuntu
package set really is and where its "limits" are (is there some verbal
description of it (and the other package sets too)?). From a look at the
related packages on Christian's LP page I assumed that most of them
belong to the kubuntu package set. Isn't this the case? Given that we
all are pretty new to delegated teams, I see it appropiate to ask if an
other delegated team suites one owns interests better. Provided that the
understanding of the purpose of a package set and the packages the
applicant prefers to work on matches.

To get to a better common understanding: is someone working mostly on
KDE packages better suited for MOTU or kubuntu-dev? And where would you
draw the line?
