If you subscribe to someone else's branch, they cannot delete it.

I would say it is an unlikely situation where the branch would have the contents replaced, as the branch is being mirrored, and to replace the contents, they would have to replace the branch at the remote location, and as such would still break if multiple people were mirroring the same branch.

If you think that the branch would be better owned by a team, then the first approach would be to write on the whiteboard of the branch to let the current branch owner know of the situation.

We really do not want to have multiple copies of the same branch in Launchpad.

Jelmer, can you give a concrete example of the problem?
