Application for ubuntu-desktop membership

[Sebastien Bacher]

Hey desktopers,

I've worked with Daniel for a long time and I'm confident that he can be 
trusted with access to the desktop set. He demonstrated high quality 
work on our different desktop environments over the year, is one of our 
top upstream contributors to GNOME and understands the Ubuntu 
cycles/community/processes (SRU, freezes, ...). He's already actively 
working on our desktop packages on launchpad and salsa and having direct 
access should make things easier for everyone.

+1 from me!

Cheers,
Sébastien Bacher
