I think this is a very good suggestion. It has advantages for the sponsor 
as well: If we redirect to his/her domain, then everyone can see who is 
sponsoring this service for KDE. A prominent link back to the home page 
would not even feel like a advertisement and would certainly draw more 
people to the sponsor's home page than something that looks like an 
advertisement.

We could then also introduce some new redirects (apps.kde.org, 
wiki.kde.org and forum.kde.org) without suggesting that those are in any 
way controlled by KDE. For those subdomains that are really controlled by 
KDE we should also encourage use of the kde.org style to remove the 
layout inconsistencies.

I believe making the difference between sites controlled by KDE and sites 
that are individual contributions for KDE is important not only to avoid 
the impression that KDE e.V. is selling advertisments (which is is not 
allowed to IIRC), but more importantly also to properly acknowledge those 
that run these sponsored sites.

I am cc'ing Christopher as I do not know whether he is on this list.
