Some of the larger ones are Armin Ronacher’s own projects…

  So he should as the creator of flask, I'm sure it's not easy trying to maintain that.

    I believe these are actually donating to an organization which manages projects he created, not to him directly.

      Yes I confirmed with him ahead of time that he doesn't see any money sent to the Pallets project.

  What do you mean "own projects"? At first I thought you were implying that he somehow had a say in how the donations were distributed. But it seems like he is just a unaffiliated recipient? Anyone who does python web work would probably list him as highly core to the ecosystem so that would make sense.

    He's not unaffiliated, he's a Director of Engineering at Sentry [0]. Whether that means he has a say in who got paid I don't know, but I can see how that would feel a bit off to OP. Edit: I'm also not 100% sure which projects OP was referring to. I just looked through the Google sheet and can't find anything by him, but I could have missed something.

      I see I was wrong. That does present a possible conflict of interest.

        Possible but not actual. Pallets is the project in question here, and Armin is only barely involved anymore, specifically he doesn't see any of the money they raise.
