hmm, your are right, something is wrong here, tasksbase.LPTasks.current_from_listurl() is not working as expected, will work on this later today.
As a temporary workaround run:

bugnumbers --lc "u:dholbach" -l https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.subscriber=ubuntu-main-sponsors

My last comment is not completely right, tasksbase.LPTasks.current_from_listurl() does what it should do.
The problem here is that the '+bug-text' url is used directly as an argument for bugnumbers. I always thought that this would work without any problems, but I'm obviously wrong. There are two possible solutions for this:
   * explicitly allow +bugs-text urls as an argument for py-lp-bugs, then we have to check the current code and find other cases where this fails. The problem here is: whenever LP gets another interface, we need to check this again.
   * only support +bugs urls as an argument for py-lp-bugs, this is defacto the current state (when +bugs-text urls are working properly then it's just luck)

I think we should go with the second solution. And then we should change bughelper/bugnumbers to always convert +bugs-text urls to +bugs, so it's always the task of the script using py-lp-bugs to ensure that +bugs urls are used.

With the pending roll out of the API I think going with the second solution also makes sense.
