	Guys (not just you Robinson of course, Bjoern and others) - please lets
not have this nonsense division between sponsored or not. I know of
people who are not paid that contribute an incredible amount of work,
and I know of people who are full-time but somehow don't do any
significant amount of patch review via. gerrit or elsewhere at all.

	Lets have the discussion without this false and unhelpfully divisive
distinction. I strongly suggest that if we need to weigh anything in
this balance then the amount of time they spend, and the amount of
reviewing work they do is what counts - not how they feed themselves :-)

	ATB,

		Michael.
