I'm the guy who invented sponsorship, I'm the one who wrote the
sponsorhip CGI.
Yes I know what I'm speaking about. I hate to be forced to say things
like that.
=> If you have nothing against what I want to do, just trust me and let me
do. Otherwise come up with valid criticism.

Sorry, but everything has been summarized several times already. Read
the bug log again and this thread, they are not very long, you can
easily make up your mind.

yes with subject "foo -- short description". He may want to add some
[keyword] eventually ... either a language like [fr] or a coding
language [perl] to give more information to the sponsors with just
the suject.

Using the BTS doesn't change anything here. He mails the sponsoree and
the BTS to let other know that this upload is sponsored. Then he does
his usual job.
A sponsoree prefers a regular sponsor, so he's always looking for that
until he has one. If he doesn't have any, he will have to ask each
time. Not complicated, he just needs to send a mail to the bug log.

The package that are always sponsored by the same developer should be
marked as fixed so that they don't show in the list of
packages that are looking for a regular sponsor.
