mrevell pointed me to this bug. Edited IRC log below (I'm too lazy to rewrite this again)

<AnMaster> hm launchpad seems quite ubutntu specific, it should really be more distro neutral
<mrevell> AnMaster: What changes would you like to see to Launchpad to make it more distro neutral?
<AnMaster> Like ubuntuwiki, why would I want that
<AnMaster> If you want a wiki, why not a launchpad wiki instead
<AnMaster> Why force it to be ubuntu wiki
<AnMaster> "This is your wiki name in the Ubuntu wiki. You cannot remove it because without it you won't be able to login there."
<mrevell> AnMaster: Right, I see. The Ubuntu wiki uses Launchpad to authenticate users. Does it get in your way?
<mrevell> AnMaster: You can add other wikis to your Launchpad profile. I'll post a message to the launchpad-users list with your comments. Ubuntu has obviously been a major user of Launchpad since the beginning but more and more projects are now using Launchpad. I'll raise your concerns with the LP team.
<AnMaster> At least it shouldn't list ubuntu wiki at contact details
<AnMaster> Or at least be possible to disable that
<AnMaster> Can't find where to disable it
<mrevell> AnMaster: I think the wiki is listed under contact details as it's an opportunity to tell more people where to find out more about you.
<luks> mrevell, not if it's wiki.ubuntu.com and the person doesn't use it :)

<AnMaster> "Ubuntero: No (apply now) "
<AnMaster> What is that btw?
<mrevell> AnMaster: An Ubuntero is someone who has signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct.
<AnMaster> Ok so what about <other distro/OS> code of conduct
<mrevell> AnMaster: You can add other wikis to your Launchpad profile. I'll post a message to the launchpad-users list with your comments. Ubuntu has obviously been a major user of Launchpad since the beginning but more and more projects are now using Launchpad. I'll raise your concerns with the LP team.

<AnMaster> mrevell, and another detail, some developers may not be tied to any specific os/distro
<AnMaster> Even though FreeBSD is my primary OS
<AnMaster> I also use OpenSolaris and OpenBSD
<AnMaster> And sometimes even linux (Slackware mainly then)
