The fact that it matches the existing situation doesn't make it the 
right outcome though...

In practice we often have bugs where the contributor did what was asked 
to address the reviewers feedback but forgot to subscribe back the 
sponsors. With the current workflow we have very little visibility on 
those cases and they often end up lost in the launchpad noise.
It would be nice if we had a way to at least query for those bugs so we 
could review recent activity and see if there are cases were sponsors 
should be subscribed back and hadn't...

Cheers,
Sébastien
