The main role of a sponsor is to train you if you are given the position applied for. A lot of us are also in different time zones or will respond whenever we can so it wouldn't inconvenience anyone of us if you messaged us asking.
Sponsors also help establish with staff who haven't played with you that you are in fact known by some staff. You can also see when you first joined by going to the servers gametracker and searching your original username you used when you first joined the server, it will give you a first seen date.
I wouldn't let the sponsor thing discourage you, patience is definitely key for any staffing role, so you have to have patience while finding a sponsor.
