I've long felt that there should be a project-centric view of Launchpad, perhaps not to the exclusivity of today's view of the world, but just to make a stronger connection between teams and the projects they're related to. As a long-time open sourcer, I have a very project-centric view of the world; when I create a new project, I almost always want several teams, roles and mailing lists, e.g. a -users team, a -dev team, perhaps an -announce team and a -commits team (where log messages go), each with mailing lists. I might also want a separate -committers team which may not have a mailing list, but which would control access to the official branches.

I think we don't need to change LP's architecture to provide this view, just map current concepts onto new ui and perhaps adding a few additional links to present the existing information in a different, more natural way.

I'm still not sure about the scope of the work to do this, but it feels "biggish".
