My recommendation is that our new sponsor contact(s) phone the sponsors
up (or, less good, email) to introduce themselves. -- It would be better
in my view to have a sponsorship team than a single person, but that
team should try to keep a single person as the contact for each sponsor,
so that a personal relationship can be built up, and to ensure that we
don't give inconsistent information to any sponsor.
I'm not sure if a message from Andreas is needed -- I think telling
sponsors of the change is definitely a good idea, but I don't think
sponsors will be surprised/worried by a change of contact unless we
handle it badly. If Andreas sends a mail, it would be best for the
sponsor relationships if it simply thanked the sponsors for their past
support and hoped that they will continue a good relationship with their
new DebConf sponsorship contact.
