I think it's basically both indistinguishable from each other. A person can have great technical skills (like say a Debian Developer) and that doesn't give them an automatic MOTUship, primarily because MOTU involves both upload rights and a correct understanding of Universe policies and relationship with the Universe community. It's these last two bits that are relevant to this thread. What concerns me about granting MOTUship to people who don't do any significant work in Universe or contribute to the Universe community (in #ubuntu-motu or on the mailing list) is that the difference between Universe and Main is often more than just which LP access team you're in. There are sometimes subtle but significant policy differences. There are noticeable cultural differences as well. > Perhaps I see a difference where no exists, but it depends on how one > defines "being a MOTU".
