 Add the ability for a complete 'unknown' to be sponsored using someone's WoT if they think the idea has legs.

Let's say I run across an idea (like nostResumes) but Karange has a very low WoT score because he's new. I love the idea so I make the decision to 'sponsor' Karnage's application to Open Sats using my WoT score.

If Karnage scams OS then my WoT takes a hit because I was the sponsor (skin in the game). If his project goes nowhere but he didn't scam OS my WoT remains unaffected. If it's a huge hit maybe my WoT gets a bump?
