Everyone who contributes to Ubuntu uses launchpad.net - it's not a
significant barrier. Having said that, see below.

Ubuntu's current policy is that mailing lists should be created on
lists.ubuntu.com
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BuildingCommunity/CreatingTeamGuide#Mailing%20List)
and not on Launchpad. We've asked the Launchpad mailing list
administrators to decline list requests and refer teams to the
administrators of lists.ubuntu.com. The exception to that is teams
which do not qualify for getting a list at lists.ubuntu.com because
they are (e.g.) unofficial or not intended to come within the core
Ubuntu community.

One of the reasons for that is that it ensures that people can find a
list of Ubuntu mailing lists in a single place, as you say. Launchpad
doesn't yet permit different teams to be associated with a single
project and group mailing lists together in the same way that
lists.ubuntu.com does.

It sounds like the ubuntu-gaming team has slipped through the net there.
