I believe that there is expectation to have additional privileges apart from
plain ubuntu-membership when being accepted as a universe-contributor. As
Nathan already pointed out, this is partly reflected in the wiki page, and I'd
like to add that the team description [1] is also a bit misleading. Currently,
I have the feeling that we've just added another step in the process of
becoming MOTU (and hence prolonged that procedure) even though it doesn't
grant practical benefits to be a member of universe-contributors.
Now the question however is how to fix this:
a) to make it clear that universe-contributors is just ubuntu membership on
behalf of MOTU activity
or
b) to actually hand out additional privileges, ranging from being able to
triage bugs to being able to upload a set of packages (as soon as LP can do
this). IIRC there were some good ideas back during the initial discussion
about universe-contributors, might eventually make sense to revisit these.
Cheers,
Stefan.
