There are many casual maintainers who maintain one or two packages. We
shouldn't force them to leave Fedora.
It's an OS that many rely on and $25 is a somewhat trivial cost
for improved security.
There are many contributors from countries where $25 is a lot. We
shouldn't set up financial barriers. This is a dead end.
With your suggestion of sponsors to cover such devices - how does
that work for new packagers? It seems pretty impossible to do such a thing and tons of
money would simply be wasted on packagers that did very little to nothing after becoming a
packager.
They will be able to request one after they get more than 2 packages.
