I like the idea of a fund that eases the financial burden of devs, but doesn't this just create human gatekeepers - puppeteers pulling the strings of devs - or am I missing something? πŸ€”

We've been working on a few things the last couple of weeks, long-term support for core devs and similar being one of them.
