Commercial advertisments (signatures) in public announcements

Hello,
I'm worried about using commercial advertisments in the signatures of
our public official announcements and security advisories.
I've started this based on Mkanat's signature in the 2.18.3
announcement, in which he advertises his company at the bottom of the
announcement.
I do think we should avoid this path. Rewarding Bugzilla contributions
with the ability to promote your own company is a road that I'd like to
avoid. But I'd thought I'd ask for feedback. :-)
It's "only" a signature, but, nonetheless, I do think that official
Bugzilla announcements or other official emails, sent in the name of the
Bugzilla team, should not promote a company or a service. We already
have a page for those, where we list them, more or less equaly. I do
remember the idea of Google Ads for financial support, but we even
dropped that one.
Thanks,
Vlad.
