Summary

We need to be able to pull sponsor data from our various sources.

This will include sources from:

• GitHub Sponsors (GraphQL API)
• OpenCollective
• Polar.sh

Preferably this is an automated process done on each release so that documentation can be automatically updated to reduce maintenance burden.

This would also be useful for release notes, but we still need to automate that a little better (❓)

APIs Available

• Polar.sh API
• OpenCollective API
• GitHub Sponsors GraphQL API
  • https://docs.github.com/en/sponsors/integrating-with-github-sponsors/configuring-webhooks-for-events-in-your-sponsored-account is also a thing

Drawbacks and Impact

Unresolved questions

• Is this service managed by GitHub Actions or an external process (which we could run periodically via GitHub Actions or keep up to receive webhook events mentioned above?)
• I would like to list individual sponsors as well as the larger ones, so we should pull everything we have.
