Another place I don't check.  Am I the only one?

We could, but "(don't want to put these onto wnpp itself, since it's got
enough crap already)".

I'm looking for a way to easily see all of the sponsorship requests in a way
that tracks their status better than the rather bodgy script at
internatif.org.  I guess if it were possible to filter bug reports on
regexps in title (is there?) that would be a possible solution, and we can
keep it in wnpp.
