As we all know changes to LP take some time. What should be done till
the necessary changes to LP are done?
The status quo doesn't seem to work anymore :(

What about contributors which aren't universe-contributors yet? They
won't have access to those bug (unless there is a open team).
As sponsorship requests are also filed as (workflow) bugs, they should
have access to them to avoid duplicate work.

I've also a feeling that this proposal will make Ubuntu are little bit
untransparent. Workflow bugs should be publicly viewable for all interested
parties as they don't contain any private data.

If the proposal relies on changes to LP what about a special importance
for workflow bugs? If my memory doesn't fool me importance has not much
usage in workflow bugs.
That way those bugs are still public, easy to recognize and can be
filtered out by the bug triagers using the advanced search.
