As part of these changes, we would make it so:

 - people can upload their own agreements or contracts, and
 - you can specify that they need to be agreed to before you can be a
member of a particular team

So, we'd make it easier to workflow people joining ubuntumembers (and
other teams) and we would also generalise the capability for other
organisations with similar requirements.

So, for example, you could say "make sure anyone who wants to land code
in zope has signed the contributors agreement".
