Do we have a problem? What kind of?
Is a funded (with money) feature more worth than a feature or bugfix
sponsored by a developer's private time?

As Jürgen mentioned, we discussed this:

My interpretation is that the PSC agreed on allowing giving credit to
funders in commit messages. Obviously I promised to write something
along these lines in the governance docs, but that might have gotten
lost in my todo pile:
You can't as we didn't decide anything, did we? I don't see a point in
guidelines - either it's allowed or it's not. Guidelines would just dis- or
encourage the attribution, but not set a clear rule - and then this discussion
could go on and on (well, it probably will either way).
Hi Jürgen,
you've got the point.
Without clear rules we risk abuse.
My original complaint was not about occasional big new features
fundings (see regione Toscana or city of Uster) but day-by-day small
bug fixes or changes made by regular committers.
If every developer start adding "Funded by ...." lines to each and
every commit he makes, than we have a problem.
