subteams not listed on main team overview

Asked by ԜаӀtеr Ⅼарсһуnѕkі

More of a feature request than a bug per se but it is an important point.

For teams that include subteams, subteams are listed under members and not a separate category. This makes it hard for interested parties to figure out what teams there are to join, and thus makes it difficult for them to better be involved. Sure, you can look through the members, but when there are many pages, this is unmanageable. There's no way to sort or search (another feature request?).

Example:
https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-desktop
includes, e.g. subteam:
https://launchpad.net/~lubuntu-qa
which can be found on the members list-- 5 pages in. Not good.

Another one:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-packaging-guide-team
includes:
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-doc

Or:
https://launchpad.net/~launchpad
includes:
https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-architect

I would propose that just as there is a section in the Overview that says "Subteam of" for the subteams, that the main team have a section that lists subteams. Perhaps better yet, as it would address the related issue above, list it in the line that includes statistics on members, e.g. "599 active members, 2 proposed members, 6 teams." Just as clicking on "proposed" points to .../+members#proposed so would clicking on teams point to .../+members#teams.
