Unnecessary spaces and lines in new team member approval page

[Emilien Klein]

The page that is used to approve (or disapprove) new team members has a field that is used to add a comment.
This field contains by default spaces and lines. This field should be empty by default.

Url: https://launchpad.net/~<TEAM NAME>/+member/<USERNAME>

This also happens if you go to the page of a team member that has already been approved. In the attached screenshot you can see how "Welcome and thanks!" without any weird spaces or empty lines is rendered.

This is due to how you have coded the HTML for this page:

<pre>
 <textarea cols="40" name="comment">
   Welcome and thanks!
 </textarea>
</pre>

As you have a new line after the opening tag and spaces before the closing tag, those are displayed inside the textarea.

There should not be new lines between the opening and closing tags. They should be joined on the same line, with the (eventual) content in between.
