Continuing to reward contributors
Three months ago, we launched an experiment: using community donations to directly support the people who keep this project running. The idea was simple — compensate core contributors for the invisible but essential work of reviewing pull requests, triaging issues, and preparing releases.
Today, we’re excited to share that the trial has been a success. 🎉
Thanks to your feedback, patience, and ongoing support, we’ve ironed out the kinks in the system, resolved bugs in the points tracking process, and proven that this model is both fair and sustainable.
As a result: we’re making contributor payments permanent.
