Who is the intended audience for this? Many potential sponsors will 
surely have no idea what CVS tip or context-style diffs are.

If we want to help people to sponsor features, then I think we need to 
deal with subjects like finding someone to undertake the development, 
the sponsor's relationship with the developer, methods and times of 
payment, etc. as well as expected interaction with the community on the 
part of both the sponsor and the developer.
