Converting a 'Person' to a 'Group' in Launchpad?

Hi,
Recently, I uploaded wpasupplicant to dapper, with a new Maintainer
field, pointing to "Debian/Ubuntu wpasupplicant Maintainers
<pkg-wpa-devel at lists.alioth.debian.org>". This caused a new person to be
created in launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/people/pkg-wpa-devel
I was thinking about changing this to a group, so that others can join
here, particiape in bug squashing and so on.
Is it possible at all in launchpad that a package is maintained by a
group rather than a person? What would need to be done to have this
'converted'?
Please note that this is not an urgent request. I'm rather curious if
this is possible at all, as I think this would resemble reality more
accurately.
Currently, I have to create a group manually and make that new group a
primary bug contact for that package. Then there would be some confusion
about having 2 entities in Launchpad: one 'Person' 'pkg-wpa-devel' and a
'Group' calld 'wpa-packaging-team'. I was rather thinking about the
concept of having packages maintained by a group, and how this could be
expressed and displayed within launchpad.
Greetings,
Reinhard
