Bug Description
As pointed out by James Troup, this can be a problem in some cases:
<elmo> or, in a real world example, a joke translation group called ubuntu-
So, as a solution to this, I propose requiring one of the admins of the team that is being added as a member to confirm the new membership before it's done. This confirmation wouldn't be necessary if the user that is adding the team as a member has also permission to confirm the new membership.
This is somewhat similar to bug 29863.

I am an admin for ubuntu-l10n-en-gb and a member of ubuntu-l10n-en-au.
Unfortunately, this prank was not harmless. When I initially applied for a ubuntu-l10n-eng mailing list, I was rejected because of our (the ubuntu-l10n-en-gb team) membership of this group. Fortunately, after an objection from myself, the mail server admin recognised the bug and granted us the list. We were lucky - it could have been much worse.
