Be advised that the makers of Waxoil do not recommend it comes in
contact with fibreglass.
I must have a peek inside the sills on my saloon with my borescope
camera, just like the one you link to in fact.

Brown stain only at the front doesn't sound too threatening, much more
important from a safety point of view is the area just forward of the
'B' pillar, where the seat belt attaches. Perhaps it will be
sufficient in your case, to prevent further deterioration, to block
the drain hole below the bottom of the 'A' pillar and temporarily fill
the bottom with, say, thinned waxoyl. Capillary action should get it
to the stained area. Also, coat inside the steel the full length of
the sill with waxoyl (thinned by warming) using the pump and long
tubes available for this sort of task. You'll need to drill a hole,
say 20mm, into the sill as the two holes for the seat belt mount are
too small.

Brown staining on the fibreglass on the inside below the doors is one
sign but a look inside is also necessary because if the member is
rotting from the inside you won't see any staining until it has
perforated. A borescope will reveal all

This sounds like a possible (and alarming) explanation for the brown
patch under the gelcoat on my 2+2 below the door hinges in the sill.
I've asked for a logon for the proboards to look at your link.
