Hi Oscar.
I personally find the methods of the ubuntu art-team to be a 
bit...bureaucratic. Lots of specs, discussions and stuff without any 
real results (yet).
In the tango-community we have a more relaxed, laid back approach to 
artwork creation. Someone does a needed piece of artwork and then the 
maintainer includes it if it's good. Discussions are held on irc and the 
mailing-list (and you can keep track on what people are working on there 
as well, by asking them). For whole sets, like the tango-icon-theme, the 
gnome-icon-theme and tango-art-libre, we have put up lists of names of 
the needed icons and sync them with cvs [1], [2].
It works great for me, but if you feel the launchpad way works better, I 
could probably live with it.
