How is that related to sponsored work? If a patch was ignored, then the
extra line in the commit message would have been ignored as much as the
actual code.
Without sponsoring, most reasons for developing code are positively
correlated with code quality. Not perfectly, but at least some.
Sponsorship, on the other hand, is a motivation for developing code that
has little to do with code quality.
For that reason, sponsored code should be examined much more carefully.
Writing good code requires time. I don't see how being sponsored for
development should have a negative correlation (in general) to the time
invested on a specific topic/patch.
Patch review intensity should be based on the content of the patch
itself (e.g. complexity and long-term maintenance factor) and not based
on some disclosure requirement that has the potential to support prejudice.
Best regards,
Tobias
