Open source maintainers burn out with no support system

Maintainers of popular OSS projects spend unpaid hours triaging issues, reviewing PRs, and answering questions. GitHub Sponsors is unknown to most users. There's no lightweight platform where maintainers can publish their OSS health status, post bounties on issues, and receive micro-donations from corporate users who depend on their libraries. A GitHub-integrated tool would fill this gap.
