+1 here too; good idea.  

Maybe call 'launchpad-mergers' (or 'launchpad-pushers'?  heh) to avoid
further confusion around the term "commit" in relation DVCSs.  Formally,
we call those agreements "contributor agreements"; maybe
'launchpad-signed-contributors'?  It's long, but it communicates what's
actually going on.

I don't know if PQM's list of allowed keys is reachable/modifiable via
the API, but if it's not, it could be.  Maintaining it automatically
would be a win.

Let's all find each other in IRC tomorrow and try to set up the team and
maybe the PQM authn automation (I'd do it now, but you're more familiar
with the intricacies of team semantics than I am, so I'd like to
coordinate).
