Document Sponsorship Platforms and Strategies for Maintainers

[UlisesGascon]

Identify and list various platforms and methods for maintainers, both as groups or solo contributors, to receive sponsorship. Each platform presents unique challenges, and sharing insights based on our experiences could help maintainers navigate these complexities. By documenting the pros, cons, and lessons learned from different sponsorship platforms, we can provide valuable guidance to the open-source community and contribute to the sustainability of the ecosystem.
