Yeah I also received the donation, my first thought was "wow, thanks!". After that I'm actually really curious, which of my repositories was responsible?
I guess I have a bunch of repos with lots of stars, but equally very few actual real users. But nothing that seems significantly "special" enough to make me a top user, and nothing that I'd expect github themselves are using, even indirectly.
Weird. But nice.
I've been signed up for sponsors for a year or so, because people keep saying it's a good thing. In all that time I had one guy sponsor me for a few months, then stop. A nice experience, but at the same time I guess you have to be extremely lucky, prolific, or shamefully promoting yourself to actual get enough income to live on.
