I did not request it to be assigned to me, but I went ahead and played around with the same to see if I can do a simple POC. And I'm glad, I was able to complete it up.
I have made use of an unofficial API here: https://sponsors.trnck.dev/
Furthermore, with the aid of some JavaScript Client-Side scripting, I am able to fetch JSON data over the API and parse it to render it on HTML. The end result looks something like this:
As of now, I need to see how we can embed it on the Jekyll site that we have in place. One Stack Overflow answer suggested, to create a assets directory and place the script over there and then embed the HTML portion over the Markdown that we have.
Can you please suggest the way forward and if possible can I take up this project since the POC part is pretty much done here.

We've got a listing of "Additional Sponsors" who have sponsored Blockchain Commons through the "Sponsor" page. It's here: https://www.blockchaincommons.com/sponsors.html
It'd be nice if that was automated, and even nicer if it was attractively laid out with GitHub user names and icons.
Here's an example of someone who's done that: https://karabiner-elements.pqrs.org/
They appear to be doing so in JavaScript code, which suggests there's either a library or an API.
This short project would be to update our Sponsors page ( https://github.com/BlockchainCommons/www.blockchaincommons.com/blob/master/sponsors.md ), replacing the "Additional Sponsors" section with an automated, graphical display like this.
