Comment 1 for bug 801242

I think this bug need rethinking. I would close this as it is described now because users should never be permitted to request to join a restricted team, which is the case of the private team.

I think the intent of this bug relates more to the defect, well the feature I hate, where a team can add any user without permission. I think this bug might really be a duplicate of bug 239909. As a team owner, I want to invite users and teams to join my team. This is not about privacy, nor is it just about restricted teams because I could have an open team that wants to collaborate with other teams and users.
