The details of the Stripe grant struck me as very much worth writing down:
Last week completes my two week grant from Stripe to work on urllib3 full time, and I’d like to declare that these weeks were a huge success. tl;dr: $3,750 for two weeks of full time work at Stripe. 51 files changed, 1809 insertions(+), 633 deletions(-). 10 merged pull requests, 26 closed issues, 6 new issues. One major release (v1.9). ~6 months worth of progress in two weeks. Tech companies: More like this, please.

It strikes me that some of these smaller projects (like urllib3) are more difficult to fund and yet funding them would make a bigger difference than funding a larger project (again, an empirical question for which we need some data).
