Can not join a moderated team if membership status is deactivated or expired

[James Henstridge]

If a user has deactivated their membership in a moderated team, or had their subscription expire, the IPerson.join(team) method will not let them propose themselves again.

In fact, if there is an existing TeamMembership relation it will only let the user propose themselves if the status is DECLINED.

From talking with Salgado, the code behaves this way to match the workflow described at:
  https://wiki.launchpad.canonical.com/TeamMembership

From my reading of the spec, the flow chart is only intended to describe the state transitions a team administrator can perform on TeamMembership objects. The diagram does not seem to cover state transitions made by the user.

If we are going to prevent the user from proposing themselves ever, I'd expect it to be in the case where they've been previously declined.

The date this was initially reported was on December of 2005. Can someone comment on this?

Cheers,

There's not much to comment here. The bug has been confirmed, but since then I always had other more important things to work on, so that's why it hasn't been fixed yet.
