Comment 2 for bug 798865

Good point, I agree that's useful info to indicate in some fashion or other.

Maybe an icon could be used, with hoverover to see the sponsor's name?

https://merges.ubuntu.com/main.html shows the sponsor in a smaller font underneath the changer's name. Dunno if that is stylistically allowed in Ubuntu, but if it is perhaps that could be another option.

Given how many columns are already present in the table, adding another column for sponsor would not be desirable, I'd guess.
