Hi Daniel,
We see it quite often. And the answer is that the sponsorships is rather an entry in some hidden RIPE db than a contract. When an end user is asked "Do you have a sponsoring LIR for this resource and if so, who is it?", the answer is usuallu " We have no idea". And the only way to be certain is to send an email to the RIPE hostmasters.
If you don't know, check the LIR Portal to see the registered PI spaces you hold there.
Well, not if it's legacy space, apparently. But it is an improvement that at least RIPE space is visable there now. As far as I can recall that wat not the case not very long ago. If you could really see everything via the LIR portal, then I agree the need for publication would be much smaller.
