The team seems to have been removed now, thanks!

The list has been now removed in Launchpad. Remember that we encourage
you to apply for an Ubuntu localization list as mentioned above.

>

As all the requirements were fulfilled, I've now appointed your team as
responsible for Ubuntu translations into Telugu.

Do you think you could additionally look into the points mentioned
there?:

the team has been accepted

Thanks and happy translating!

Regards,
David.
