@HeartSaVioR, yes. Basically just an indicator that at least one committer
(i.e. someone with commit rights) is interested in supporting a module.
But your question also brought to mind the idea of "Community Sponsors" --
essentially the same thing without commit rights. I can see that as beneficial
on a number of levels. Were you thinking of something like that?

> Document the purpose of the "external" module collection and the concept of
> "Committer Sponsor."
> The more important point is to document the fact those listed as "Committer
> Sponsors" have no special authority, roles, responsibilities, etc. and that
> the Committers/PMC Members collectively bear all responsibility for the
> codebase.
