I really hope the Ubuntu Accessibility team is not composed entirely of
folks who are "disabled" -- some more or less "normal" people may well
have an interest in accessibility issues, too. Is dividing human beings
into "us" and "normal people" really a helpful and appropriate mindset
for an accessibility team? All concerned might benefit more from
working together, than from creating artificial and unhelpful divisions
between people.
It is made up of people, all of whom are normal, some of whom have a
specific impairment. People are motivated to work on accessibility
topics for a variety of reasons.

[ Throwaway aside of the day: why does a team labeled "accessibility"
choose to use a closed (i.e. inaccessible) mailing list? On the
surface, that appears paradoxical. Any chance you could at least make
the ubuntu-accessibility mailing list archives more readily "accessible"
(public) to the rest of us, so we can learn from reading them? Ideally,
please make your list as open as this one (lubuntu-desktop) is. ]
the archives are open as far as I can see
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-accessibility/
I can't find lubuntu-desktop on lists.ubuntu.com, where is that as I am
missing some context.
