I don't have very much input apart from that I am strongly of the opinion that: - commit/edit access should restricted to our launchpad website editors team. Preferably authenticated through it. - That if we use a VCS to make changes, this should hosted and be under the control of us and/or canonical. I am not in favour of using a 3rd party like KDE invent.
