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.
