I've done that now.

Just an observation: you did not volunteer to remove yourself as 
"owner", only to add Jean Pierre or me.

Therefore, should we assume that you want to elevate yourself into a 
"shared owner" status? 

(If so, then this makes your apology dis-ingenuous.)



====================================================

Is a project owner different than a project leader? Of course.

A project leader leads. I don't know what a project owner is. Maybe a 
"project owner" is a title that Launchpad gives to the persons who can 
configure the website in an unimpeded fashion?


Therefore, project leadership is more important than being a project owner.


There can be more than one project leader. But I would not want to 
share project leadership with just anybody.

This last bit is political, not technical.
