------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As mentioned above, patches can come in several different forms. If the patch is not a debdiff one could incorporate the patch into a debdiff for the latest release of Ubuntu or apply the patch to a bzr branch of the package and link the branch to the bug report.
- If a patch is a debdiff and applies to a recent version of the package the bug report needs to be [[ SponsorshipProcess | sponsored ]] to the appropriate archive. This is done by subscribing (NOT assigning) the appropriate sponsorship team to the bug. For packages in main and restricted the ubuntu-main-sponsors team should be subscribed. For packages in the universe and multiverse repositories the ubuntu-universe-sponsors team should be subscribed. You can view their queues at [[ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.subscriber=ubuntu-main-sponsors | main-sponsors ]] and [[ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bugs?field.subscriber=ubuntu-universe-sponsors | universe-sponsors ]].
