No, you do not need a VCS url to get the package reviewed. You have done
the right thing and uploaded it to Mentors. When you find a sponsor and
they are happy with the package they can do the upload/release from
there. Then if they are happy to continue sponsoring the next versions
for you, they may prefer you to move it to collab-maint.
