Some remarks :
- the sponsor does not want the bug reports in his mail box, those should
go to the maintainer ... :)
- taking over the maintainership does not request the preceding maintainer
to do anything, you just have to upload a package with a modified
Maintainer field. No need to ask debian-qa or the sponsor (of course you
must have your account on master for that).
- debian-qa is a a mailing-list where you could subscribe to get the bug
reports. Each subscriber is part of the Debian QA Group and can work on
packages owned by debian-qa ... the list is just a matter of
coordinating the work on the orphaned packages and on general
quality issues.

Oups, corrected.
