FWIW, I already added "Patch-sponsored-by" pseudo-headers in commits: https://git.dpkg.org/cgit/dpkg/dpkg.git/commit/?id=ffa1ec0502c8c34d5d51bff003f52b3cd732d875 Many paid LTS contributors are thanking Freexian in their monthly report (even though they don't have to!). And even though, in the end, Freexian was only an intermediary. We have plenty of persons using their work email as a way to show that the work has been sponsored by the company. (And I do that for my work in Debian sponsored by Offensive Security) To me, it does not seem wrong to have a small mention of credativ close to the azure image if they did the work (even if they were paid by Microsoft).
