docs: add GitHub Sponsors funding config and README section - #520
Merged
Conversation
Nothing in the repository pointed anywhere for funding, so the Sponsor button never appeared — not in the repository header, not on issues or pull requests, which is where GitHub surfaces it. FUNDING.yml enables it. The README section sits before License rather than near the top: the page is already 400+ lines and dense for a first visit, and a funding badge in the first screen competes with the Maven coordinates people actually arrive for. The wording states that sponsorship gates no feature and buys no queue position, so it cannot be read against SUPPORT.md, which says triage is best-effort with no paid tier. Verification: DocumentationLinkGuardTest, 1 test, green — the new relative link into SUPPORT.md resolves.

Why
Nothing in the repository pointed anywhere for funding, so GitHub never rendered the Sponsor button — not in the repository header, not on issues, not on pull requests, which is where it actually gets seen.
