This bug (#624227) has already been filed against the PTS and this
entire feature of the PTS should be restructured with debexpo for
multiple reasons. The biggest reason is that not all packages on m.d.n
are actually in need of a sponsor. Since debexpo keeps a flag for "Needs
Sponsor", the hope is that the PTS can begin to use that metadata in the
future (instead of simply interacting with the source repository as it
does now).
