You have been subscribed to a public bug:
Currently, the user must know about whether or not they need sponsorship
for a package and whether it applies to main or universe.
Ideally, requestsync should guess this automatically based on
environment variables such as DEBEMAIL or EMAIL:
* if someone's address ends with @ubuntu.com or @canonical.com, they
most probably don't need sponsorship, so don't play with the switches at
all.
* If their address ends with anything BUT these, they most probably DO
need sponsorship, so the -s switch will be auto-enabled.
Likewise, if someone needs sponsorship, it implies that the bug should
NOT be marked as Confirmed automatically in the syn request message's
body.
The above would be very useful if a helpful Debian developer or frequent
bug reporter spotted a new Debian version that might fix some Ubuntu
bugs and wanted to inform Ubuntu developers of this fact by suggesting a
sync.
