I actually really like using the BTS to keep track of tasks. We could
have a much shorter RFS bug template for the Debian Med team that would
automatically set the owner as
debian-med-packaging at lists.alioth.debian.org --- this would still direct
the emails to us. When someone wants to take over sponsoring, he resets
the owner to be himself. In all cases, it's very clear who's responsible
for doing the task [1].

What do you all think?
