Asked by MATE Desktop on 2017-01-16

Hi,

The MATE Desktop team would like to claim ownership of the mate-desktop project in Launchpad.

  * https://launchpad.net/mate-desktop

We have created this account to manage the project. Please can you transfer ownership of the mate-desktop project to this account?

Thanks, The MATE Desktop Team.

I'd suggest instead creating a team at https://launchpad.net/people/+newteam. A user should generally represent a single person or a robot, while a team can easily have its membership adjusted to control who has access.

We specifically want a member because we want to start importing git repositories and making snaps. The snap store requires a single account to do that currently.

William Grant (wgrant) said : #3

You need a single account for the snap store, but that doesn't mean you need one for Launchpad too. It just makes things difficult and we very very strongly recommend against it.

OK. I've just claimed ownership of the upstream pkg-mate-team, which I am a member of.

Please can you transfer ownership of https://launchpad.net/mate-desktop to https://launchpad.net/~pkg-mate-team.

Thanks in advance, Martin.
