[MacPorts-announce] MacPorts, Open Collective, and GitHub Sponsors

[Joshua Root]

Many people have asked us if there is a way to contribute to MacPorts 
financially. We are happy to announce that we are now able to accept 
contributions via the Open Collective platform, with The Open Source 
Collective as our fiscal host. Visit our Open Collective profile to get 
started: <https://opencollective.com/macports>

We also have a GitHub Sponsors profile, which may be more convenient for 
some people to use. Payments made through GitHub Sponsors also go to our 
Open Collective account. See <https://github.com/sponsors/macports> or 
use the Sponsor button on any of our GitHub repositories.

Open Collective has extensive documentation explaining how the system 
works. The Contributors FAQ is a good place to start: 
<https://docs.opencollective.com/help/financial-contributors/financial-contributors>

The collected funds will be used to cover expenses related to the
operation of the MacPorts project. Expenses will be approved at the
discretion of the PortMgr team. Transactions will be publicly visible
on the Open Collective site (with personal information redacted).

We expect that initial expenses will be for hosting costs, with new
BuildBot hardware being a more ambitious goal. Please feel free to
suggest anything else that you think would be useful!
