include "funding" field in package.json?

[marcjansen]

What do you think about the following change:

diff --git a/package.json b/package.json
index f171abf4..0015ff49 100644
--- a/package.json
+++ b/package.json
@@ -153,5 +153,6 @@
     "ol": ">=6.x",
     "react": ">=16.x",
     "react-dom": ">=16.x"
-  }
+  },
+  "funding": "https://opencollective.com/geostyler"
 }

Then when one runs npm fund this output would be generated:

$ npm fund
https://opencollective.com/geostyler
│ └── geostyler@12.0.0
├─┬ https://opencollective.com/babel
│ │ └── @babel/core@7.20.12
│ └── https://opencollective.com/browserslist
[skipped a lot of lines]

What are your thoughts? I could add it to all the geostyler repos, just like the README section or the actual sponsor button on GitHub.

Does the info only occur when running npm fund or does it also occur on other npm commands? If it's the former one, this would be ok for me. But I do not want other devs to get spammed on npm i or something alike, which can be seen with other repos sometimes.

AFAIK it'll be shown when one does npm i, but only as a summary like here:

$ npm i @babel/core

added 54 packages, removed 4 packages, and audited 55 packages in 16s

4 packages are looking for funding
  run `npm fund` for details

found 0 vulnerabilities

npm fund will then print out the actual funding URLs

Thanks for the info. Then 👍 from my side
