Is the information about what each sponsor provides us available
somewhere. I'm fine if you don't want to make this public, but please
add the information to the debconf-team SVN repo or the sponsors-table
GIT repo. Or point me in the right direction if this is already
somewhere.

I'm a bit surprised by the fact that you tell me that they provide the
value of at least a Bronze Sponsor. I can't imagine that we have Domains
from Gandi valueing 2000 CHF. For others it seems more likely but still
a lot. We have 5 permanent sponsors who do hosting. This would mean we
need at least 10k for hosting each year?

As I wrote if they really provide equivalent support of a Bronze
sponsor, I'm fine with the current situation. If not on the other hand
it's unfair to the other sponsors. And if we really loose one of them.
I'm sure we will find anotherone in Switzerland without them being on
every page.
