ubuntu should be using open source software for all its functions. The current situation is contradicts "Ubuntu Philosophy" (at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/philosophy ) in that "our work on Ubuntu is driven by a philosophy on software freedom" but we're still using a proprietary software to manage Ubuntu. The use of malone as it is now also contradicts "Ubuntu Licensing" (at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing ), especially by forcing "The Ubuntu team [who] is committed to Free and Open Source Software" to use a proprietary software.

I also agree with https://launchpad.net/products/launchpad/+bug/50699/comments/4 in that

I also propose the severity of this bug bumped up as it endangers the future of Ubuntu development, as illustrated by the above comment.
