-## Packagesets
-
-Packagesets exist per-release and are defined in the Launchpad database
-accessible by API (using the `edit-acl` command). For easy viewing, see
-[~ubuntu-archive/packagesets](https://ubuntu-archive-team.ubuntu.com/packagesets/).
-
-Consider creating a packageset once we have:
-
-* Two or more PPU uploaders.
-
-* Two or more related packages.
-
-* The grouping of those packages needs to make logical sense.
-
-The application process is more-or-less the same as for developer upload rights.
-The differences are:
-
-* Each packageset needs a *description*. This is so that developers can mail
-  `devel-permissions` after the set is created in order to have packages added.
-  One DMB member then needs to judge the description against the requested change
-  and may make it if they decide it is warranted.
-
-* We create packagesets with just one uploader, which is a team that we then add
-  developers to. The team should be configured like so:
-
-  * Owned by the DMB (but without having the DMB as a member).
-
-  * Self renewal.
-
-  * 720 day expiry period.
-
-    ```{note}
-    For 'Ubuntu Flavor' packageset teams, [the TB requested](http://ubottu.com/meetingology/logs/ubuntu-meeting-2/2019/ubuntu-meeting-2.2019-06-04-19.04.moin.txt) a 180 day expiry period.
-    ```
-
-  * `~ubuntu-core-dev` as a member.
-
-  * Member of `~ubuntu-uploaders` (in rare cases the DMB may require membership
-    of packageset uploaders: in this case make the team a member of `~ubuntu-dev`
-    instead.)
-
-If necessary, we can modify the description later on following a full vote,
-either by email or in a meeting.
-
-Quick set of steps for creating packageset team:
-
-1. Start at [new team registration page](https://launchpad.net/people/+newteam).
-
-2. Make sure {guilabel}`Membership Policy` is *Restricted Team*.
-
-3. Set both the {guilabel}`Subscription Period` and {guilabel}`Self Renewal Period`
-   to 720 (or 180 for 'flavor' teams).
-
-4. Change renewal option to *invite them to renew their own membership*.
-
-5. Create the team.
-
-6. On the new team page:
-
-   1. Click {guilabel}`Change Details` and then {guilabel}`Change Owner`.
-
-   2. Change the team owner to `developer-membership-board`.
-
-7. On the new team member page:
-
-   1. Add `ubuntu-core-dev`.
-
-   2. Edit `ubuntu-core-dev` membership expiration to *Subscription Expires: Never*.
-
-   3. Remove (deactivate) yourself.
-
-   4. Remove (deactivate) `developer-membership-board`.
-
-8. Go to [`~ubuntu-uploaders` member page](https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-uploaders/+members)
-   (or, if appropriate, [`~ubuntu-dev` member page](https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-dev/+members))
-   and add the new team as a member.
