Why the rules about active? Seems complicated and more open to arguing. I liked the Pillow guidelines you linked: https://github.com/orgs/pytest-dev/teams/contributors can express interest and https://github.com/orgs/pytest-dev/teams/core decides on split (which I guess can be anything from 0% to 100%). With the same assumption that the core members are reasonable that should end up as roughly the same.

Mind you in practice I have no issue with the above proposal of people right now, but would also not mind if e.g. hpk or ronny wanted to be part right now (I'll pass myself). Likewise there are probably cases where I wouldn't mind people not in core being paid for some time.

I wrote those "rules" just to come up with a solid proposal in the e-mail, but I do like yours better. Letting developers opt-in to a share is fair and reasonable, certainly.

I think we should even always split the funding evenly between those opting to receive it, to further avoid any arguing on that.

But in general I'm +1, let's make it happen if there's anyone interested

in getting paid.

Great, let's see what others think.

Cheers, Bruno.

I think TideLift seems like a good step in the right direction -- also agree on the "active" bit being the most difficult to resolve here -- where possible let's adhere to the simplest-as-possible here -- I like the opt-in approach proposed above :thumbsup: Anthony
