Develop a GitHub integration for GitHub Sponsors to sponsor Open source projects

[phyleria]

Develop a GitHub integration that enables open-source projects on GitHub to receive donations via Chimoney, supporting the sustainability of the projects.

Idea Flow

• [ ] Create a Chimoney Action that streamlines financial transactions within GitHub workflows.
• [ ] Sponsors can use this action to trigger payments, sponsor open-source projects, or donate to causes directly from GitHub repositories.

@phyleria @uchibeke I've done some research and here's the workflow I have:

• Accept email/username and amount as input
• Resolve username into an email
• Retrieve API key from environment variable
• Initiate chimoney payout with email and amount
• Output payment link and possibly the redeem link

Will this do?

This will do.

Questions/Considerations:

• only payment link should be outputted so the sender can pay. Redeem link shouldn’t be public even though we have multi-step Verification
• for now let’s use username > email. After payment, the user being paid (username > email) gets a message from Chimoney with the redeem link
• limit max amount to $10 to start for compliance reasons.
