Apologies if this caused any alarm or confusion. What happened here was: * José Antonio Rey pointed out to me that it was a bit odd for ~ubuntu-archive to be owned by me (which was for ancient historical reasons) rather than being properly part of the Ubuntu governance structure and owned by ~techboard. I agreed and reassigned its ownership to ~techboard. * As a result of the change of ownership, Launchpad implicitly added ~techboard as an Administrator to ~ubuntu-archive. * It seems more appropriate for ~techboard to be a non-member owner: that's used for cases where the owner should be able to exercise governance authority over the team, e.g. recovering it if all its admins go AWOL, but where members of the owning team aren't intended to be able to exercise the direct powers of the team as a matter of course or by accident. I therefore removed ~techboard from ~ubuntu-archive's membership list again, which resulted in the email above. Perhaps unfortunately, no email is sent on reassigning ownership or for the resulting implicit membership change, so it looks like something odd happened, but the net change is just that the owner of ~ubuntu-archive used to be ~cjwatson and is now ~techboard. Hope this is marginally clearer than mud now! -- Colin Watson (he/him) [cjwat...@ubuntu.com] -- technical-board mailing list technical-board@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board
