That makes more sense to me :-) Next issue would be that sponsors then
have to evaluate whether a change should be going upstream or not.
That's probably a good thing but I imagine the queue won't get
processed quite as fast. I believe the current sponsorship queue is
designed more around "touch it once" so if a sponsor has to go
back-and-forth with a sponsoree I'm not sure how well that's going to
be tracked or implemented.
