Dear all, I think you are all right, but you are all missing the others message -- and I like to do that too :-)
* The world does not only consist of the US, i.e., there is not only the NSF. * The Austrian fund FWF, and I believe the same holds for the NSF and EU funds, does not support "implementation of known things", not even if they are implemented more intelligently or something. * all funds support "research". So, you have to ask for money for doing research, i.e., creating something new. Of course, that's not easy, especially if you are not as well known as William Stein. In any case, I'd be surprised if William got money for implementing things in SAGE, at least not initially. (Now he's famous, so he might get money for anything.) I'd rather believe that he got money for exploring some mathematical structures. In any case, documentation will not get funded. Research including documentation will. Research could be: implement Joris van der Hoevens zero-test for differentially algebraic functions and some others, benchmark and conclude that Joris was right.
