- dkersten 6y agoThe same way it currently does, if they opt into GitHub sponsorship or another sponsorship system.
- colinmcd 6y agoI added a footnote to address this. I admit I hadn't thought this bit out fully. Basically there needs to be a mechanism by which the set of maintainers divvy up the money. A pattern I expect will arise (actually it probably already exists): there can be different "contribution tiers", a fixed percentage of the proceeds go to each tier, for each tier the allocated percentage is be distributed evenly.
