First reaction: NFT groan; post-reading a couple of comments reaction: Oh yeah true, kind of a nice didn't-need-anything-but-thanks sponsorship 'swag'...

Considered reaction: if that's the target, a novel way to do sponsorship, they don't need to be tradeable right? In fact, it's harmful, since the sponsee gets nothing from the secondary market. So why NFTs, why not some mechanism for including the sponsor in the actual commit (for some number of commits, or a time period or whatever)? As you say, they're already immutable. Stick 'sponsored by' in there just like 'signed-off by'? Authored by Linus, Committed by SponsorBot<SponsorName>?

Hi OJFord,

In fact, GitNFT gives the author a ~10% royalty after every sale :)
