That's certainly what I've always seen people say when asked how
transitions were managed in Ubuntu.

The sponsors not requesting testing and a transition effort commitment
is something I've noticed too. I see transition sync requests that I
don't look at immediately because they'll need a fair amount of review,
and 10 mins later someone has gleefully sponsored them because they
build successfully.
