The processes for handling Ubuntu package sponsorships are described in <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SponsorshipProcess> and <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Sponsorship/SponsorsQueue>. Amongst other things, they involve:
* a "requestsponsor" shell script that reports a bug on your behalf
* unsubscribing teams from bug reports
* setting a bug report to Incomplete if the attached patch needs work, even if the bug itself is fully described
* several steps where multiple things (importance, status, tags) need to be changed at once.
Probably this can be simplified with a little help from Launchpad. We should sit down with some representative MOTUs and figure out how to make the sponsorship process easier. |

<persia> Vorian: Please unassign yourself when submitting bugs to the UUS queue.
* Fujitsu finds that part of the process to be silly, but necessary due to Launchpad's lack of a good workflow for sponsorship.
* persia agrees with Fujitsu
<Fujitsu> We shouldn't really have to hack sponsorship processing into the existing task.
Probably this can be simplified with a little help from Launchpad. We should sit down with some representative MOTUs and figure out how to make the sponsorship process easier.
<persia> mpt: OK. If we're looking at something to be implemented in the 6-12 month timeframe, I'd hope our volume would reach the point that we're ready to properly review an interface. Right now we're only at around 10-20 sponsorships a day, which isn't impossible. |

In the long term this will be fixed by <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NoMoreSourcePackages>, but in the medium term probably this can be simplified with a little help from Launchpad. We should sit down with some representative MOTUs and figure out how to make the sponsorship process easier.
