i'm guessing this was an intentional choice to head off controversies about how a project divies up their GitHub sponsorship money. If everybody understants that they are giving to specific people, that avoids a lot of potential drama.
- ronilan 7y agoI’m sure it’s intentional (this is a well-thought and well-executed feature). I also understand the logic. I feel uncomfortable with it. It creates patronage relationship between people and a) I personally do not want that kind of relationship and b) maybe I’m wrong (or stretching it a bit) but it feels like that’s not really the kind of relationship the tech industry needs more of.
