[The ordinary membership of the ubuntu-archive team is handled internally by the archive team, and directly by the launchpad team admins; Cc:ing TB for awareness, but they can be dropped from Cc: going forward, modulo the separate discussion point Seb brings up.]

A desire to move handling of the kernels to someone within the Kernel Team other than Andy, to free him up for other work? Is this request backed by the Kernel Team as a whole? Note that there are other existing AA+SRU team members who are trained up on handling of kernel updates (Łukasz and myself). I don't know about Łukasz, but I have had zero requests for me to handle kernel updates for probably at least a year; they seem to all get handled on UK time before my start of work. So if there is a need to speed up handling of kernel updates, I'd like to understand first why the available resources are not being leveraged for this before adding more people to a privileged team. Also, I am generally opposed to giving people privileged team access on the basis that they only intend to use the access for a limited subset of that team's responsibilities, without a clear plan to also train that person up to handle all of the tasks. None of this precludes you being made a member of the team, I just want us to be clear about rationale and the parameters under which such a thing should happen.
