Sponsee? Tony made that one up didn't he? I can see the
confusion in a couple years when the number of Debian maintainers
hits a few million. "What's that language you're speaking?
Debian you say?" :-)

Ok.
Maybe we're saying the same thing. My own packages have bugs
despite my best efforts.
I think a point could be made for including a bogus bug in a
guy's first package so he can learn the changelog procedure for
closing it while he's still in close contact with his sponsor.
Although there's no real trick to it and the pattern match is
very robust.
