While I understand the rational, that's putting the annoyance on the
sponsors and might decrease their motivation to help with the uploads.
The annoyance being that by helping reviewing/uploading some change we
will now end up being email nagged for every action/user follow up on
the issues until you manual go to launchpad to unsubscribe.
Did the SRU team consider trying to identify the situations where the
sponsors actual need to be subscribed and try to add them back only in
those cases? Or to encourage the sponsoree to reach out to the sponsor
again if needed? Or to have the SRU team subscribe back the sponsor only
in case where an action is actually needed?
Cheers,
Sébastien Bacher
