Yup. It was the best I could think of at the

The only issue then is that we loose the original
concept of the sponsor. While the distinction
between sponsor and sponsoring entity was
artificial, I think it was useful.
So the sponsor was the individual Apache member
who would champion the cause of the candidate
project with the relevant sponsoring entity,
help the candidate through those initial stages
and be a champion for the podling once it was
accepted.
We still need this role (at least prior to
acceptance by a "sponsoring entity" or whatever
we want to call it now) I think. However I like
the idea of calling the "sponsoring entity" the
sponsor, as it's more natural. For the purposes
of documentation why not something like the
candidate "champion" for the original sponsor
idea?
Cheers,
Berin
