Hello all, as I can't join the next meeting, my vote by email.

It makes sense to decouple membership from PPA for those "occasional fix" types, i. e. what we intend to by letting DDs who ask for it upload their packages to Ubuntu. Either these people are satisfied with that, or this could be a means to get said credentials for "sustained contributions" and eventually reach ~u-member status. +1 on this provided that memberships have to be regularly renewed and that CoC still needs to be signed, but both of these points have already been discussed in the thread and agreed upon.
