+1

And this is a separate tag, so it's harder for the analysis tools
(whose output your customers must be interested in, too?) to
match the tag to the actual Author/Reviewer/...

I think that's a key point. Having a separate tag denote the sponsor
would make analysis a lot harder. We'd need to start writing parsers
with much more context awareness.

yes. There are already 2 ways to give credits I was not aware and I
will go with one of those.

Thank you for replying
Best regards
