I agree with you, this would be helpful for both sponsors and newcomer
packagers. As you suggest, ideally, we should have this information in
the accounts system (not defined within the sponsors site). Once the
information is available there is no reason why not to display it :-)
I created a ticket for it

I originally thought so but then I decided to go with custom
configuration files because I checked SIG memberships of some sponsors
that I know and they never were in the SIG for the thing that I know
they are interested in. Taking you for an example, in your config
https://kevin.fedorapeople.org/sponsor.yaml you have the following
interests - command-line, desktop, mobile, python, and epel but you
are not a member of Desktop SIG, Mobility SIG, and Python SIG.
Well, does 'desktop' mean 'gnome-sig' there? Or all desktops?
And there's no mobility sig group that I am aware of.
So, yeah, it's murky.
But I guess we could take the SIG memberships and use them as one of
the sources of configuration (in complement to what we already have).
Does this sound reasonable to you?
Possibly, but mapping them could be difficult, so perhaps just better to
let people self tag.
