Robert Hass (whose name I misspelled in the commit message above) just
mentioned to me (in an answer to my apologizing about it) that he didn't
think that mentioning sponsors for patch development was a good idea.
I don't think we have a policy for this, but I have done it for some
time now and nobody has complained, so I sort of assumed it was okay.
Besides, some of the people pouring the money in does care about it;
moreover, it provides a little incentive for other companies that might
also be in a position to fund development but lack the "peer approval"
of the idea, or a final little push.
So what's the general opinion here?
