Yes, people don't need to be already involved in Debian to help on
DebConf, including on sponsorship, though obviously it helps if the
people contacting possible sponsors have a good knowledge of Debian
and of DebConf. Getting advice and help from not-yet-involved people
with experience or contacts is definitely a good idea.
The only constraint is that information on sponsorship negotiations is
usually confidential, and sometimes the details of the sponsorships
finally agreed are too. So, obviously, the people who are involved
need to be trusted, and if they are only helping in a specific case it
may be better to avoid unnecessarily giving them full access to the
sponsorship records.
