OK...

This is the application root:

http://people.canonical.com/~mwh/canonicalapi/canonical.launchpad.interfaces.launchpad.IPrivateApplication.html

The 'authserver' endpoint:

http://people.canonical.com/~mwh/canonicalapi/canonical.launchpad.interfaces.authserver.html

'codeimportscheduler':

http://people.canonical.com/~mwh/canonicalapi/lp.code.interfaces.codeimportscheduler.ICodeImportScheduler.html

The 'branch_puller' endpoint:

http://people.canonical.com/~mwh/canonicalapi/lp.code.interfaces.codehosting.IBranchPuller.html

'branchfilesystem':

http://people.canonical.com/~mwh/canonicalapi/lp.code.interfaces.codehosting.IBranchFileSystem.html

'mailinglists':

http://people.canonical.com/~mwh/canonicalapi/lp.registry.interfaces.mailinglist.IMailingListAPIView.html

'bugs':

http://people.canonical.com/~mwh/canonicalapi/lp.bugs.interfaces.externalbugtracker.IExternalBugTrackerTokenAPI.html

What I'm working on is adding some methods so that code import slaves
don't need to talk to the database directly -- I guess this is why I'm
craving PermissiveSecurityPolicy so: because I'm basically moving code
from a script context to an appserver context.
