I'm sorry I didn't reply earlier -- I like your idea's, but have a
alternative implementation suggestion: Use 'forwarded' with an URL to
indicate package is ready and needing a sponsor -- the BTS will then
separate these bugs in a different heading, plus you immediately
click-through to the canonical location for that ITP's package location.

PS: Having anti-spam email addresses is a bit defeated by the fact that
the emailadresses are wide open on bugs.debian.org :)
