Add information about new sponsor field #36579

Dumb question, but would it make sense to have the Sponsor field as a link to the sponsor homepage? |
Good point! I've done that for users on the user graph (although it will take a few days to work through the caches), and it makes sense to extend it to sponsors. For companies on the company graph, and sponsors where we derive it from GitHub I can read the URL from the GitHub data, but when the sponsor is set via in the metadata, it's a bit harder. In most cases I could cross-reference against employees, but I can see that for https://quarkus.io/extensions/io.quarkiverse.mailpit/quarkus-mailpit, the employer affiliation of the contributing people doesn't line up neatly with the named sponsor, so I'd be a bit stuck. So I guess maybe we'd have to add (and document) an extra field. I'm a bit reluctant to overwhelm the docs with fields, though. Hmm. |

🙈 The PR is closed and the preview is expired. |

@holly-cummins do you want us to merge this or do you plan more work on it? |
|
I think it's good to merge, please, @gsmet. I'm going to think about links to homepages, but that would be a separate piece of work, and then extra documentation. |

Merged, thanks for the quick feedback! |
See https://quarkus.io/extensions/io.quarkiverse.mailpit/quarkus-mailpit of an extension using this field (and how we render it in the extensions UI).
See https://groups.google.com/g/quarkus-dev/c/ez3d5MqNm7k/m/VKW78oSVAwAJ for a longer discussion of the rules for what we show where and how to control it. Including all of this information in the extension metadata docs doesn't seem right, so I will include some of it in the quarkiverse hub pages, and some of it in the readme for the extension catalog. I may also write a blog. I will also include it next to the contributors graphs in the extensions UI, and, once I implement it, in hover help in the UI for the sponsors field.
