Hi Paul,

It's an unfortunate annoyance of the Launchpad mailing lists system that
it doesn't allow people to subscribe to the mailing list of a team
without being in the team.

You can, however see the web archive of the list at
https://lists.launchpad.net/svn/ , and send emails to it.

Generally we only use it to ensure multiple of us don't try to do the
same work simultaneously though.

If it ever becomes an issue, we should consider creating a second, open
team, and attaching the mailing list to that instead.



As far as contributing to the PPA is concerned - we actually do very
little indeed specifically for the PPA. All the interesting work of
updating the packaging for new upstream releases generally happens in
Debian, usually by Peter Samuelson, after which Michael and I do a
minimal amount of tweaking as required for a suitable integration with
past Ubuntu releases.

As a result, there's unlikely to ever be much work around focused solely
on the PPA - though, if there is anything you think should be done, you
are welcome to email the list and/or use Launchpad's Bazaar branches and
merge-proposals features to submit changes.

Max.
