Did nobody read my suggestion that this should go in the Press Kit? That seems like the perfect location; it gives our sponsors exposure somewhere official, while not turning the release notes (or even other parts of the docs) into a fundraising billboard. The Press Kit is all about PR, and this is PR.
In fact, it makes sense to do it in 2 stages:
(1) assemble a wiki page, starting now, and
(2) when we complete the 9.1 Press Kit, copy the wiki page to a page of the press kit.
But, here's the important question: who is going to take responsibility for this? If we don't have a volunteer who is going to be in charge of making a sincere effort to list all feature sponsors, then any further discussion is pointless.

Let's please not turn this into a white elephant[1]. We have enough elephants around as it is.
