Should we add a link to where people can get commercial support?

@AmandineLP @bluesomewhere should the Foundation list all commercial distributions, or only its members / partners?

If we list all, should we add a distinctive badge for the ones supporting the Foundation and rank them higher? Hide those who don't by default, and display them when the user clicks on "expand"?

Both are not issues specific to only distros, are they?

Perhaps it makes sense to replace support_level by commercial_support. I.e. community support is done via public repo or chat, we already have the capability to show that. If set, the link contained in commercial_support would spawn a "commercial support" button.

Can we continue without blocking on this, e.g. by not indicating anything for now? I have updated the openDesk entry to specify CE and checked BuM which seemed to have wrong info (one more reason to link to the actual support offer ;) ), so everything is now community-supported.
Here is what commercial support links would be like:

Still, I generally like the idea to draw the circle from the ecosystem category to the members page. Put a little star sticker on those projects which are Foundation members. 🌟
