Who has any idea what this actually means without looking up the
definition? Why not call it what it is: Member Sponsor.

How about PMC Sponsor, again for the same reason as above.

Are there actually cases where the member sponsoring the new project
isn't the mentor? I mean, who is going to 'champion' a new project and
then leave it to someone else to mentor?
Do we really need to create jargon for the incubator? Looking at the
word podling I had no idea what it was at first in the context of the
incubator. I checked if the word actually exists, as I had never heard
the word before, and it's a cod-like fish that is salted and dried.
