Every so often we get people asking to join the bzr team on Launchpad who've never had any previous interaction with us as far as I can tell. I don't know why, and I have not yet had one reply to my mail asking them.
Having been the co-head of ubuntu-universe-sponsors (at least, until i gave it away), for a couple of years, I'd suggest that people are joining because they want to use bzr.
They do not read the team description at all, and no text on the page will sway them. I've asked some people why they're doing this, and they think that they needed to be in the sponsors team to use the sponsorship queue. People often don't seem to find it unclear, they just don't read it.
I've found that declining them with exactly the same words in the summary was effective, and I've not seen them attempt to join again.
YMMV, but that's what I've found for a similar team, so I'd say that's the reason they're joining yours.
