💸 Should GitHub Sponsors show up on the Fundraising page? #1666

Should GitHub Sponsors show up on the https://www.djangoproject.com/fundraising/ page?

This feels like an oversight, but as a long-time donor, I prefer to donate this way rather than through Stripe.

Thanks for raising the issue!

My tentative answer would be "yes", but I do have some reservations.

1) The GitHub sponsor page only mentions visibility on the sponsor page for tiers $100 and up, so this choice might have been deliberate. I don't know who manages the tiers and their perks, or who is in charge of keeping them updated (I assume it's someone on the DSF board). I'll try to ping some people and see if I can get an answer. 2) Keeping the list updated by hand seems unfeasable (and unsunstainable), so we will need to write some code. The quickest solution I can think of off the top of my head is some kind of management command run from CRON that udpates the right database models (might require some model changes to be able to separate github sponsors from stripe donors).

This might be a question for someone else: Is $100 the donation level we use to determine if someone gets listed outside of sponsors?

I think it'd need to be an API hit or something. I'm not trying to make work for anyone but it struck me as a question that maybe hadn't been asked yet.

@bmispelon raise to me this issue (thank you ❤️ )

  1. I have no idea myself (and don't have access) but I will ask around who is in charge and so on.
  2. I agree with Baptiste, there is a need of writing some code for that. In addition to this, there is a will to change this page to make it more "attractive/readable" to get sponsors (part of DSF Website WG based on an audit of the website) so I believe this will be taken into consideration. cc @SaptakS
