UCD dates back to the time when MOTU Council was granted the right to grant Ubuntu membership. The idea for a subteam comes from Mark [1,2] when it was discussed how the membership granting gets implemented for the MC. UCD caused already once confusion[3] in the past and it was proposed to merge UCD with ~ubuntumembers where Mark was against this idea[4] and prefered to keep the subteams to be able to track which membership granting council added a person[5]. UCD is in line with the other membership granting councils: - Kubuntu council -> ~kubuntu-members - Edubuntu council -> ~edubuntu-members - Forum council -> ~ubuntu-forum-members - IRC council -> ~ubuntu-irc-members Only ~ubuntu-forum-members and ~ubuntu-irc-members seem to give additional rights compared to ~ubuntumembers. If translation contributions get their own council, it should IMHO get moved into their own subteam. Perhaps UCD should get renamed to "Ubuntu Development Members" (~ubuntu-dev-members) to match the naming scheme of the other teams. But I'm not sure if the difference to "Ubuntu Developers" will be clear enough just from the team name.
