What I probably should have said from the start is that the place where
this information shows up that I personally care about is at:
https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=rra&comaint=yes
which shows the packages that I've sponsored. I don't really care how the
information shows up there, but I think it's valuable, and I'd hate to
lose it.
