Bug Description
If someone in Launchpad has chosen to keep their e-mail addresses hidden from everybody, and then applies for membership in a team, a team administrator has no way of contacting them to discuss their membership.
Launchpad should either provide forms for letting an administrator and a prospective member e-mail each other (without necessarily knowing each other's addresses), or the addresses of a prospective team member should be disclosed to the team's administrators.
<mhb> hello launchpad masters ... I need to contact a LP user because he wants to join the team I'm managing but I can't seem to find the email address

For all the teams I'm involved in, this isn't required: the model is that the onus is on the potential new member to contact the relevant administrator/ mailing list in order to apply for membership.
In circumstances where people apply for membership and do not read the introductory text under the team page in order to contact the right people, the membership application is ignored/rejected.
