Indirect team members cannot be listed on a team page

Bug Description

When viewing a team page, it is currently impossible to see all the members of that team, not just the direct members.

In some cases this may be a problem. For example a Kubuntu Member is a Ubuntu Member as well, but he won't get listed on the ubuntumembers team page. Thus, it may be harder for him to prove that he's a Ubuntu Member.

However, as Matthew East stated on the #launchpad channel, this requires clarification if an indirect team member has the same rights as the direct one.

14:21 < mdke> yes. But groups are used for much more than Ubuntu membership. There might be permissions, bugmail or other differences between indirect and direct membership of teams
14:22 < mdke> I'm not sure if indirect members get bugmail for products where the team is bug contract, for example
14:22 < mdke> or whether they can change configuration of products where the team is the driver

Thanks Martin. I think the UI should make it clearer as to exactly what permissions indirect members have.
