> There's no ceiling on how much a package earns. There is a floor, however: if the payment computation arrives at a trivial total for a package, we reassign the money to other packages. It's impractical to pay very low amounts, because there's some administrative overhead for us to pay and for you to lift. The less-known players are typically the ones that get nothing for their effort, regardless of the size of their codebase or the effort put in. I didn't see any mention of what "trivial" is - presumably that's dependent on payment processor fees, etc? I get that this is early days - very well known packages have 0 subscribers - what is the plan to springboard this? I'm guessing a couple of big names with big paychecks to spread around is part of the plan? Or just hoping for HN notoriety? ;)
