Research direction

Start with the monthly sponsors section on the MonoGame website and trace how the automated Patreon supporter data is fetched and displayed. Check how the existing Ellpeck Games URL is retained but unused. Done means the system supports custom display names and URLs while continuing to fetch Patreon supporters automatically.

Description

Hi! This is sort of a minor issue about the monthly sponsors section on the MonoGame website. I noticed that, at some point in the past, the section has changed to using an automated system for fetching the names of Patreon supporters.

While I understand this obviously makes things a lot easier, it also means that my request for a custom display name (which I submitted via Patreon a long time ago), as well as the custom URL I had submitted, are now both not taken into account anymore. This makes it so that "Ellpeck Games" (my requested display name) is listed as a former sponsor with the link to the Ellpeck Games site still in the data but unused, while "Ellpeck" (my actual Patreon username) is listed as a current sponsor without a URL attached.

Would it be possible to allow for the automated Patreon fetching system to have custom override names specified?
