This is a good, reasonable change.

While we are at it: do we have guidelines how to set up a new
sponsorship program? I want to launch one for GRASS now given
that we no longer use the IRST server as primary infrastructure.

I see
 http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Project_Sponsorship
but that doesn't address our needs. We want to collect small
money donations first which aren't under level regulations.
Think "donate button".
