I have been digging into this (along with the launchpad api) the last few days, and it looks very interesting. I will do a check, that this list of packages is up to date with what is in the metas. It could be a good source for a list of packages if it was up to date. The launchpad API unfortunately does not expose the runtime dependencies of source packages, so it is difficult to use to build a list of packages from the metas. The only other option I could see that was left (so that the list could be produced on any machine for any series), was to query http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and parse the HTML. Interestingly, I see that we do not have any uploaders listed in the package set. We should work on that! I would like to see an ubuntustudio-uploaders team, that could have strictly controlled membership. For example, I have no real interest in getting upload permissions to the whole ubuntu "universe" where I could do lots of damage :-) But upload rights for "our" package set would be really useful (once I have proved my self with some packaging in ubuntustudio-contributors).
