to qoute myself from the page above MOTUTeams (the MOTU page):

"Masters of the Universe are the brave souls that try to keep your
universe in shape."

the MOTUs are the universe package maintainers group, based on
volunteers to keep universe up to date, submit interesting patches to
packages or care for integration into the complete ubuntu world.

currently the universe packages are just synced and rebuilt from debian
sid. often this works, but sometimes the dependent packages dont match
the ubuntu version and patching and rebuilding is required. 
as i wrote in my example above, there are people that rather like/need
to use icewm, so integrating it with the system management tools, look
and feel etc. in ubuntu would be desirable.

the MOTU team is the team that shall care for these packages since they
mostly are unmaintained by the main team which has to care for the main
distribution to get it in a releasable state.
