When the sole OSS maintainer says “I only got $23 in donations last year so I can’t spend as much time on bug fixes this year” that should be a case for donating $25. Especially if the end of maintenance would instantly cost five or six figures. The thing is that it’s hope that you get support for your $25. Not a contract guaranteeing it. In the end the easiest option for me is to donate a $25 personally on my employers behalf and be done with it.
