OK, I modified the script so that it accepts as an optional argument a Gnome 
release number. For the generated web page I use now 2.23 which is the Gnome 
release to which we sync for Intrepid.

Seems a good idea.

Hmmm, that would require some modifications to the html page to allow inputs 
via javascript. This will be anyhow pointless as the page is regenerated 
daily so that information will be overwritten unless we could somehow save 
it. I think this will be too cumbersome to implement.

The problem is how do we decide if a given bug waiting for sponsorship is an 
update?
For instance:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/devhelp/+bug/250290

This is an update, but there is no keywords that would lead this to be picked 
up.

So, for the time being I added a link to all bugs in the sponsoring queues 
about a given source package. Those bugs should then be manually checked to 
see if they contain an update or not.
