It probably wouldn't be worth very much. If, for example, I'm writing a python app and I import some package from pypi, if that package is relatively small, and I have some issue with it, I can probably just open the code files and figure it out. Support for open source projects usually means it's something large and complex and requiring specialized knowledge or at least beyond your own, or your project is so large and complex you need outside help getting it done. Also, suits willing to foot the bill.
- davman 8y agoThanks for the feedback :) I think I was more positioning this as "We have hundreds of open source dependencies, can I pay someone (x) to support these all in one go?", mostly due to the proliferation of npm packages!
