Hi Philip,
Sponsored By tags are used by freebsd and some other projects to show which company
sponsored the commit.
For example
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-head/commit/da88cadfb7e76ffa35440f16fef51a03935b7775

Urk. Of the top of my head .. that just looks nasty. Signed-off-by:
already indicates
a company name, so going further than that is overkill IMHO.

But what if it is contractor work, where the commiter has no company email.

Indeed, domain addresses in emails usually give the "sponsor" of the
work. No need for more bureaucracy.

Honestly, that's between the company and the contractor. But I'm only offering
one opinion. I'm not a fan of new tags, whether or not they are about credit.
Better commit messages, not tags, are what is typically required (i.e.
read about
the short lived "Impact:" tag in kernel commits).

Assuming you have a specific case in mind, could we recognize the
sponsor on the website, possibly via a new item?

Well, in the same way we acknowledge people who helped with a patch, you
can mention people/companies by name in commit messages and I can't see
an issue with that. I don't think it needs a specific tag form though.
Cheers,
Richard

FreeBSD does not have signed-off-by and so on and use subversion so don’t have git commit -s and so on :)
if you want to credit someone then mention it in the commit log should be enough IMO

Working as a contractor, I can definitely see the point in such a tag. Many people also have a separate e-mail address, e.g. gmail, for public mailing list commits for the sake of spam et.c. However if the preferred way is to use the commit message, that is fine by me.

Hi again,
okay when the compromis is to name the sponsor in the commit message than I am fine with it too. If noboy objects, I will
add it to the wiki for reference and will soon send the first patch.
Bye Henning
