I should have anticipated a bikeshed discussion on the name. I don't
care what it is (including dropping the team entirely). I only proposed
Ubuntu Development Members as it it fits in with the Ubuntu X Members
schema that you find elsewhere and having the team fits in with the
structure set up by the CC.

If people can come up with something that everybody likes then please
edit my agenda item so that we consider that name instead.

Cheers,
