One of these reason is that at the moment he would not gain visibility except being added in the commit log as Cc: as far as I know. What I've been pointed to by someone is "Sponsored by:" that is not a real tag and it's been used not that often, for example here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=73c289bac05919286f8c7e1660fcaf6ec0468363 And as you know better than me: $ git log --grep="Sponsored by:" As explained in the commit log of the patch this is an attempt to define a standard Sponsored-by: tag including a method of acknowledge on sponsor's side. The goal is to possibly increase upstreamed patches giving the chance to the sponsors to gain visibility. I hope someone likes the idea and that someone could help me to improve the description in the patch because I'm not an English mother language.
