The purpose of requiring a team subscriber for MIRs is to make it clear who, as 
a team, to escalate problems with the package to.  Having fine-grained 
subscriptions by teams with only three members (~libreoffice), only two of  
which have upload rights (core-dev) and only one of those who actually works on 
the libreoffice package, does not serve this purpose.  The answer to a team not 
being on the m-r report is not to arbitrarily add more teams, but  to 
understand why there isn't an existing team that is agreeing to take ownership 
of this package.

It certainly doesn't make sense for ~desktop-packages to be the MIR team
subscriber for libreoffice itself, but then bless ~libreoffice as the
team subscriber for a random font dependency.  Let's get desktop-
packages subscribed to this package, please.

Title:
  [MIR] fonts-stix -- to replace xfonts-mathml

Status in fonts-stix package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  [Availability]
  already in xenial

  
  [Rationale]
  The libreoffice-common package currently recommends xfonts-mathml, which was 
removed from Debian in 2014 with the rationale that it is superseded by 
fonts-stix (and that it has a license problem).  Please replace it with 
fonts-stix.

  [Security]
  no executable code

  [Quality assurance]
  no executable code

  [Dependencies]
  no further deps needed: see 
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/component-mismatches.txt

  [Standards compliance]
  trivial package, maintained by Debian

  [Maintenance]
  no executable code, maintained by Debian, stable/low frequency updates

  [Background information] 
  Since xfonts-mathml is only a Recommends: rather than Depends:, I'm going to 
go ahead and remove xfonts-mathml from wily.  If for some reason fonts-stix is 
not a suitable replacement and xfonts-mathml is still needed, please feel free 
to reupload it to the archive and close this bug.
