SRU bug subscription for sponsors

Dear Ubuntu Developers,

If you sponsor an SRU, please subscribe to its bugs so that you can
respond to any enquiries from the SRU team, and step in as necessary.

We're now also subscribing SRU sponsors automatically, but the initial
implementation is racy, so this might not always occur if SRU unapproved
processing is too quick (ha!). Hopefully it'll help in most cases, so
this should be much better than nothing. Incremental improvements!

We find that sometimes the sponsoree doesn't understand the process,
which is of course to be expected - that's what the sponsorship process
is for! But it seemed that sometimes sponsors weren't getting the
message, and the SRU would stall - hence this request, and the
autosubscription to help.
