I've maintained a popular opensource project for the last 7 years. I finally relented and started a GitHub sponsors profile earlier this year. For a long time I had the same mentality about donations so when I set up my sponsors profile I made it super clear that I wasn't offering any perks for sponsorship. If someone chooses to donate, it's purely as a thanks for my work. Currently I make $6 a month so that covers a couple of coffees. In terms of fairness to past contributors, I put the sponsorship on my personal GitHub account and not on the repo for the project I maintain.
