The specific part I responded to referred to (AFAICT) the folks who have 
been working on the GTI proposal; they are all long time members of the 
GNU toolchain community.  Would sponsors have a similarly strong 
connection?  Likely not all of them, and IMO that's a good thing because 
it gives companies that are not comfortable (or don't have the means of) 
getting involved directly a way to contribute to the sustenance of a 
project.

It also gives them influence, but we have a considerable amount of 
control over that through the TAC, which is comprised of folks from the 
community.
