I think authors should be paid and I think it should be sustainable. GitHub sponsors is great because they don't take a cut currently. Sometimes people just want attention and bandwidth. The more we can do to like just read the docs or help with the releases, that's not what you need to give back. So where maintainers could potentially get paid, they also could use the extra help so that way they can go do a course or go do something else for all their knowledge as well.
