I'm going to go out on a limb here and close the bug. It's not really a bug in Launchpad, but rather an issue of Ubuntu policy. If that policy changes, we can request Launchpad to amend it.
I don't think there is any harm in discussing the issue further so I've added it to the Community Council agenda for the next meeting.
Ok. Thanks to all those who have commented.
