Bug Description

There is currently no API exposed that returns the projects that a team or person are associated with. i.e. the equivalent of ~team/+projects or ~team/+related-projects. According to jml, this could be accomplished by exposing the IPerson getOwnedOrDrivenPillars method.

Note that exposing this method, which should be a very, very simple patch, is actually quite tedious. The method in question returns IPillarName, which is itself not exposed via the API yet.

The linked branch doesn't actually fix the bug, but it demonstrates what a pain the API can be. We can't expose IPillarName via the API because it doesn't have a canonical URL.

You don't need to publish internal Launchpad methods exactly as is. You should be able to define a new method that returns pillar objects (which are already published), and publish that as a named operation.

Jono, you have a branch for this bug. Are you planning to work on it or should this bug be closed as won't fix (or maybe invalid)? If you do plan to resume work on that branch, please set the bug status accordingly

I don't plan to resume work. The branch is Abandoned and the merge proposal Rejected.

Looks like it's time for me to file a bug against malone! :)

Given Leonard's description in comment 3, I believe this is a task for launchpad-registry.

This method is used twice in lp code, and in both case we work to convert the PillarName into a distro, project, or project group. The method do the conversion so that all callsites get what they want.
