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. -- [1]: https://launchpad.net/~universe-contributors
