Thanks @kmoens for this contribution.
Here is my review., with my main feedback being:
- there should be a notion of "active support" (through the use of the
eoasColumn) and "limited support" (through the use of theeoasColumn) - the description should summarize the support policy, not just giving a few links. Based on what I understood only the latest release (aka series) is actively supported, and a few selected releases (chosen by the team on unknown criteria) receive limited support.

Only GA releases must be documented on endoflife.date.

The default regex will work for Hibernate versions, not need to override it.

Given https://hibernate.org/community/maintenance-policy/ document stable and limited-support, this means that there are two level of support for releases :
- full, with bug and security fixes,
- limited, with a selection of bug and security fixes.
This must be reflected here with the use of eoasColumn / eolColumn. More on https://endoflife.date/contribute.

Not all releases receive limited support from what I can see on https://hibernate.org/orm/releases/. How such releases are chosen ?

https://hibernate.org/community/maintenance-policy/ says:
Most Hibernate projects limit full maintenance to just the latest series; Hibernate Validator maintains multiple series.
It seems to apply to https://hibernate.org/orm/releases/, so I think it should be documented here.

What are the advantages of commercial support compared to standard support ? Longer support period ?

If possible, having dates for eol would be better. Are EOL of releases announced somewhere ?
