After reading through our Policies, and fixing a few typos and updating "bzr" to "git" I noticed, in the section about team memberships: "~kubuntu-packagers Used for git branches of our packaging kubuntu-members, kubuntu-ninjas and ubuntu-core-dev can commit to this Members can be added at the discretion of a Kubuntu Council member where it eases entry into the community for new packagers Other teams can be added such as test bots" I would like to remove kubuntu-members from this policy, and on launchpad. KC members, please vote on or discuss this, and on my quoted email proposals.
