Thanks for this.

I wonder if "really hide me" will work with some of the Ubuntu team
charters. Right now, team membership gives you voting rights. If we
complicate that, they might have to introduce a new form of non-voting
membership. It might be more straightforward to say, "If you want to
be a member, you have to give your primary email address to the team
admins for the purposes of voting."
