Sure. As I said, these are some topics that I'd personally bring up. bzr-builddeb is in usable shape, but like any piece of software has a number of bugs. Right now, the Launchpad team that has commit access to it is ~bzr-builddeb-hackers, which is mostly made up of people who have moved on to other things. If ~ubuntu-dev had commit rights, like for ubuntu-dev-tools, there is potential to empower people who use it day to day to fix the nagging little issues they hit and expand the universe of people able to do code reviews. I did originally have a second bullet point under that topic about the general state of UDD, but I deleted it before sending. I didn't want to open that can of worms myself as I don't have any real solutions. It's unlikely that the well-known problems are going to be fixed unless Canonical decides to reinvest resources into UDD. It seems pretty obvious the community can't/won't take over driving it forward (though I'd be happy to be proven wrong). Though since we're talking about it, the one stop gap fix that would make me happy would be if all Ubuntu Developers could trigger the equivalent of the local 'requeue_package.py --full' command that UDD admins can run. Some history might get lost, but at least out of date branches could be made usable.
