I can feel with you.

I'm also currently waiting on two merges getting sponsored (currently 6
days and 3 days old). My last merge got sponsored after 10 days. But
I've also had merges that were sponsored pretty fast. Probably depends
on who looks on the queue and if they need the merged package themself to
move on.

I know of
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-branches/+activereviews
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-main-sponsors/+activereviews
https://code.edge.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-universe-sponsors/+activereviews

Until all get used to the new bzr merges, I still file bugs for my merge
proposals to be on the safe side. As
http://qa.ubuntu.com/reports/sponsoring/index.html lists only bugs
awaiting sponsoring, a merge proposal without a matching bug might get
lost.

No real advice, just wait. I try to avoid looking for sponsors as I
don't want to pester the other devs too much.
