Numbers?

? Pardon ? The bug reports have to explain the issue behind the report
and for an NMU the bug reports must also include patches. What are the
bug report numbers?

Easy is not the objective.

No URL, no bug reports, no detail - how do you propose that it gets
sponsored?

There is no duplication involved in an NMU - but you must engage with
the maintainer, explain your proposals, detail your patches and allow
time for the maintainer to either do the upload themselves. From your
request, I have no way to tell if you have done any of those essential
things.
