What is sponsoredissues.org?
sponsoredissues.org lets users assign their GitHub Sponsors donations to specific GitHub issues, in order to vote for which features and fixes get prioritized.

The ability to assign donations to specific GitHub issues has two benefits:
- It gives FOSS users an additional incentive to donate, because it gives them voting power.
- It helps FOSS maintainers understand which issues are most important to their users.
Sponsoring an issue does not give the donor any guarantee about when the issue will be resolved — it is only for the purpose of user feedback. In addition, the maintainer chooses which specific issues are "sponsorable", by adding the sponsoredissues.org issue label on GitHub.
For more detailed info about how the site works, please see the FAQ.

This website is free to use, and the source code is published on GitHub with an Aferro GPL license. If want to support the site, or if you want to vote for future features/fixes, consider donating to me on GitHub Sponsors.
