I quite like Sponsored-by: but yet another approach could be the
same as that used by those of us whole use personal email addresses
while being employed by someone. So my SoB is:

Matthew Wilcox (Oracle) <willy@infradead.org>

but you might have (eg)

Laurent Pinchard (Coca-Cola) <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>

and then when working for another sponsor:

Laurent Pinchard (Ford) <laurent.pinchart@ideasonboard.com>
