I was thinking about this today. Previously, a team to the user was simply a list than in many cases dictated the ACL to a product. We've added team mailing lists and team PPAs so we're at a point now where a team has begun to take on more meaningful role. So it makes sense that we should explore this topic further.

From the suggestions provided, I see inherent drawbacks:

1) total karma of team members doesn't reflect activity actually in that team unless we can tie the team to a product. e.g. Ubuntu LoCo teams are team-only entities not associated with a product or distro. However they do have a mailing list, perhaps a forum, and maybe a team ppa. Some may even have openid enabled websites which they use LP to login to.

2) List all teams on a person page would make for a very long page for some folks. I can't see how a user by default wants to see all the teams (we have those nifty little team icons there anyway) a person belongs to, but I can see they would want to know what teams and products/projects/distros they are most active in.

So in principle I agree to the idea. Developing a solution for this though will take a bit of thought.
