Flush \thanks to the left margin and turn of text justification

Question

I use footmisc to modify the layout of my footnotes such that the footnote marker and the footnote text flush to the left margin, and I turn off the justification and hyphenation in the footnotes with \raggedright.

How can I do these things in the argument of the \thanks command? Since I tend to use the package titling for modifying \maketitle, I assume it's best to stick to that package for modifying \thanks as well. The problem is that I understand almost nothing of the documentation for that package.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[flushmargin,hang]{footmisc}
    \renewcommand{\footnotelayout}{\raggedright}
\begin{document}
\title{My title\thanks{These are the people I wish to thank. I need to add more words to
 demonstrate that there is right-edge justification in this line.}}
\maketitle
A sentence.\footnote{A footnote which I intend to be long enough to demonstrate that
 there is no right-edge justification.}
\end{document}

Answer 1

With titling it is easier on one side and more difficult on the other. However it's possible to replicate the setup made by footmisc also for the \thanks footnotes.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[pass,showframe]{geometry} % just to show the page frame

\usepackage{titling}
\usepackage[flushmargin,hang]{footmisc}
\setlength{\footnotemargin}{1em} % just to show clearly equal output

\renewcommand{\footnotelayout}{\raggedright}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand{\makethanksmark}{%
  \setbox\@tempboxa\hbox{%
    \ifdim\footnotemargin>0pt
      \hb@xt@\footnotemargin{\thanksfootmark\hss}%
    \else
      \thanksfootmark
    \fi
  }%
  \leftmargin\wd\@tempboxa
  \rightmargin\z@
  \linewidth \columnwidth
  \advance \linewidth -\leftmargin
  \parshape \@ne \leftmargin \linewidth
  \footnotesize
  \@setpar{{\@@par}}%
  \leavevmode\raggedright %%% <--- add \raggedright
  \llap{\box\@tempboxa}%
  \parskip\hangfootparskip\relax
  \parindent\hangfootparindent\relax
}
\makeatother
\renewcommand{\thanksfootmark}{%
 {\normalfont\thanksscript{\thanksfootpre\tamark\thanksfootpost}}%
}

\begin{document}

\title{My title\thanks{These are the people I wish to thank. I need to add more words to
 undoubtedly demonstrate that there is right-edge justification in this line.}}

\maketitle

A sentence.\footnote{A footnote which I intend to be long enough to demonstrate that
 there is no right-edge justification.}

\end{document}
