Supporter means he gets paid to look after that
subsystem so he is something other than a volunteer.

from MAINTAINERS:
	S: Status, one of the following:
	???Supported:	Someone is actually paid to look after this.
	???Maintained:	Someone actually looks after it.
	???Odd Fixes:	It has a maintainer but they don't have time to do
			much other than throw the odd patch in. See below..
	???Orphan:	No current maintainer [but maybe you could take the
			role as you write your new code].
	???Obsolete:	Old code. Something tagged obsolete generally means
			it has been replaced by a better system and you
			should be using that.
