Bug Description

Presently, one must be a team admin to see the PPA creation options for a team, or to be able to create a team using createPPA. That is because you need launchpad.Edit permission on a team to create a PPA, and only team admins have those privileges.

For ~commercial-ppa-uploaders, we have people who we completely trust to create PPAs, but would rather not give authority to grant and restrict privileges for other members. For most of the teams I run personally, barring the ones created for mailing lists, I would have no problem with granting all members the ability to create PPAs.
