can no longer request sponsorship with requestsync without using LP cookies

Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools

at some point in the intrepid cycle, the requestsync tool has stopped supporting the '-s' option to request sponsorship, relying entirely on autodetection of team membership to decide whether sponsorship is needed . But this only works if using the LP cookie interface for submitting bugs - if bugs are submitted by mail, this doesn't work! Please restore the -s option, which has not been superseded by the autodetection support.

(Or better yet, make sponsorship the default when using the mail interface, and require passing a flag to bypass sponsorship.)

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-dev-tools - 0.50

---------------
ubuntu-dev-tools (0.50) jaunty; urgency=low

  [ Nathan Handler ]
  * Add pull-debian-source script (LP: #289141)
    - debian/copyright:
      + Add myself to the Upstream Authors and Copyright sections
      + Add pull-debian-source to the License section
    - Add doc/pull-debian-source.1

  [ Siegfried-Angel Gevatter Pujals ]
  * debian/control: Add perl-modules and libwww-perl as Recommended packages

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * pbuilder-dist.new: Add 'experimental' to list of known Debian releases.
    pbuilder-experimental works fine with pbuilder-dist.new.

  [ Jonathan Davies ]
  * buildd: Show which architectures are available in help and created a
    list of them for easy addition of new ones.
  * requestsync:
    - Readd sponsorship flag and related documentation in
      doc/requestsync.1 (LP: #270605).
    - Do not check package's Launchpad bug list page if the package to be
      synced is a new package. As this page does not exist for
      it (LP: #312297).
