How do bug subscriptions factor into this?  Would it maybe make sense to
take the current structure and add something like "ubuntu-developer" off
the edge (since core-dev is already a member of ubuntu-dev):

  individuals --> ubuntu-core-dev (main/restricted upload)
                        \
                         --> ubuntu-dev (universe/multiverse upload, polls)
                        /        |
  individuals --> motu           |
                                 |
                                 v
  individuals -------------> ubuntu-developers (polls)

This way no upload rights, bug subscriptions, etc need to be moved around?
Or am I missing something?
