Without sponsoring, most reasons for developing code are positively
correlated with code quality. Not perfectly, but at least some.

Sponsorship, on the other hand, is a motivation for developing code that
has little to do with code quality.

For that reason, sponsored code should be examined much more carefully.

Of course, if your stance were that no new code should go in without
proper review, then I would support you totally, and possibly drop this
proposal. Is it?
