If all your business is about PHP, why would you want to sponsor Lua?
Usually, as a company, you sponsor a project because you have an  
interest in doing so, here I don't see it at first glance. There is  
not necessarily a reason behind that, I am asking because I am curious  
and because my company is also a "php shop" and I have recently found  
a big interest in Lua.

Porting Drupal would be more intersting and would fit Lua better IMO,  
but let's not start the CMS war :)
