The account behind it was renamed from LINUXexpert-org to jcoffey-dev, and GitHub does not redirect the old name: github.com/sponsors/ LINUXexpert-org answers 404 while the new one answers 200. So the Sponsor button on this repository has been leading nowhere. Worth fixing rather than leaving to redirect, because a released username can be registered by anyone -- a stale link stops being a dead end and starts being someone else's page.

LINUXexpert-orgtojcoffey-dev, and GitHub does not redirect the old name:api/users/LINUXexpert-org404s too.

One line. Nothing else in this repository referenced the old username — I swept case-insensitively.
