| MartinPitt wrote a little python script that reads a debdiff from stdin or a file, creates a bug report, and assigns it to the appropriate team: |

| The script will ask you for your GPG passphrase to sign the bug report. It automatically uses gnome-gpg if it is installed. |
Do not assign a bug to anyone if it needs sponsorship. Any Ubuntu developer who is interested in acting as a sponsor is welcome to apply for membership in the appropriate team. |

Since Launchpad's email interface currently does not support attachments, requestsponsor puts the diffs inline into the bug report. Therefore it is inconvenient to grab a diff from the web interface.

Save the email in raw text form, and do: {{{ apt-get source package cd package-* gpg -o - /path/to/saved/email | patch -Elp1 }}} You should check the signature verification result.

Sponsorship
The sponsorship process is designed to allow prospective developers to have packages reviewed and uploaded. The review and uploading is performed by a Ubuntu Developer (MOTU) or Ubuntu Core Developer (core-dev). Sponsorship provides a means of learning about Ubuntu development and lowers the entry barrier for contribution.
The process outlined here is aimed at dealing with incremental changes to existing packages within Ubuntu. For mentoring on the creation of entirely new packages, please see the [:MOTU/Packages/REVU] process.
Requesting Sponsorship
[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+filebug File an Ubuntu bug in Launchpad] or follow up on an existing one and
- attach your work
in the case of a patch (using the same upstream version), attach your suggested patch ([:PackagingGuide/Recipes/Debdiff:Howto Debdiff])
in the case of a upstream version update ([:PackagingGuide/Recipes/PackageUpdate:Howto Package Update]), either
attach the .diff.gz file (and link to the new upstream source if necessary) or
link to an upload to [http://help.launchpad.net/PPAQuickStart PPA] or [:REVU].
New Packages
The process for getting NEW packages (packages which are not in Ubuntu at all yet) reviewed is explained at [:UbuntuDevelopment#NewPackages].
Sponsoring
Sponsorship is organized by two teams:
Do not assign a bug to anyone if it needs sponsorship.
Any Ubuntu developer who is interested in acting as a sponsor is welcome to apply for membership in the appropriate team.
You can see the currently pending requests at:
https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-main-sponsors/+subscribedbugs

Workflow for Review and Sponsorship
If you are processing the universe sponsorship queue, please review the [:MOTU/Sponsorship/SponsorsQueue:Procedure Documentation] or ["UbuntuDevelopment/CodeReviews"]
Check the patch over carefully. If there are problems with it, provide constructive feedback to the bug so that it can be revised.
A useful checklist for sponsoring may be found on Matt Palmers sponsorship checklist : http://people.debian.org/~mpalmer/sponsorship_checklist.html, though it is neither authoritative nor exhaustive. Exercise your own judgement when reviewing the package. A good review is non-trivial, but you will be responsible for what is uploaded, so be thorough.
To upload, do a source only build of the package as normal, but make sure that your name is not in the Maintainer: or Changed-By: headers of the changes file. The easiest way to do this is to use the -k option to dpkg-buildpackage or debsign to sign it with your key (but leave it otherwise unchanged). Do not use the -m or -e flags to dpkg-buildpackage!
To find changes for main that need sponsoring, see the list of bugs:
or
When you start to work on such a bug, assign it to yourself. (If you find a bug on the list above already assigned to someone other than a member of ubuntu-core-dev, that is a mistake. You should probably deassign them and point them at this wiki page.)
When you have a solution, i. e. an updated source package which fixes the problem, create a debdiff to the current Ubuntu version and attach it to the bug (don't forget to set the "patch" flag for the attachment).
When you have finished working on the bug by uploading, set the state to Fix Released as usual, and unsubscribe ubuntu-main-sponsors.
If the bug is a sync request, you can finish it by approving the sync. Edit the Description if necessary so that it is a proper sync request. Write a comment into the bug saying that you approve the sync, and subscribe ubuntu-archive. You should unsubscribe ubuntu-main-sponsors at this point. Leave the bug assigned to yourself in case ubuntu-archive have any questions.
You will need to be a member of ubuntu-main-sponsors in order to unsubscribe the team from the bug.
