I can echo the same statement for the ubuntu-uk team, but for different reasons. I am the current leader, but the Lauchpad contact is neither the current - or any previous team leader. However, we are both administrators. Whilst there would be real harm in changing this, and i'd feel confident i *could* do it, there doesn't really seem to be a need. It's an administrative duty, and I don't think that a LoCo team leader should have to be comfortable with Launchpad (although perhaps encouraged). I believe it is perhaps improper, to assume that a team leader is the best person to assume all the roles required to run a LoCo. It's similar to putting the team leader as their LoCo sub-forum moderator, even if they don't regularly use forums.
