As ubuntu-dev-tools also needs to know if a person is a member of a
team, we are using the following code for it:
,----
| def isLpTeamMember(self, team):
|     '''
|     Checks if the user is a member of a certain team on Launchpad.
|     
|     Returns True if the user is a member of the team otherwise False
| 
|     '''
|     return any(t.name == team for t in self.super_teams)
`----
(self can be a person or team object, and team is the team name we are
looking for).
