My shout-out goes to my mentor Klaus Purer, maintainer of several Drupal modules including Coder and GraphQL for Drupal. He taught me everything I know about open source, and he is one of the kindest and most passionate contributors I have met.
For Maintainer Month, I also started small monthly sponsorships for two contributors whose work a lot of people depend on: Randy Fay, lead maintainer of DDEV, the local dev tool over 19,000 developers use weekly , and Jess (xjm), Drupal core release manager since 2015.
Know an open source contributor looking for funding? Add them below. Should we put together a page to help connect contributors with sponsors?
