FWIW, I already added "Patch-sponsored-by" pseudo-headers in commits:

Many paid LTS contributors are thanking Freexian in their monthly report
(even though they don't have to!). And even though, in the end, Freexian
was only an intermediary.
We have plenty of persons using their work email as a way to show that the
work has been sponsored by the company. (And I do that for my work in
Debian sponsored by Offensive Security)
To me, it does not seem wrong to have a small mention of credativ close
to the azure image if they did the work (even if they were paid by
Microsoft).
Cheers,
