I’m legit worried about consumer FOSS, and especially around how work just kinda gets stuck in this limbo when an issue is over, say, 3 years old (I recently had this come up with a 12 year old FF bug as well)

I desperately want to pay, like, $100/month to get some guarantee of cleanup work on the free software I’m using (FF, GNOME, and Emacs in particular)

Lots of software projects do fundraising for lots of auxiliary stuff but I really want maintainers to be paid
