Hello everybody,

as we didn't get to it the last time in the meeting, here's my proposal
for unifying sponsorship.

At the moment we use ~ubuntu-universe-sponsors and ~ubuntu-main-sponsors
as a means for us to queue up patches/branches that need looking at.
With the new permissions model this is not suitable any more. Instead I
went ahead and updated the sponsoring overview that 1) shows which
packagesets a package is part of and 2) if the person who last commented
was somebody who can upload the package, is a developer generally or isn't.

Now I think it makes sense to move to a unified ~ubuntu-sponsors team
that will make the process even easier.

The discussion on the mailing list was not controversial at all, so I'd
like to have your go-ahead to implement the changes mentioned above.

Thanks a lot in advance,
 Daniel
