feed-pqm is a hydrazine script which uses launchpadlib api to do some
workflow related scripting.

I think part of the issue is that we end up codifying the Canonical way
(people who have signed a committer agreement are in a specific group),
into Launchpad itself. Probably saying 'put an icon if user is/isn't in
group X' is probably ok, but then you need a way for projects to set
that group, etc.
