[Twisted-Python] Participating to GitHub Sponsors

[Adi Roiban]

Hi

Thanks Barry for the feedback,

I have pressed the green button... then then I was asked to enter more info
and press more green buttons :)

I wasn't aware that this is a clone of patreon.com ...

I ended up with this https://github.com/sponsors/twisted?preview=true

----

The page is not active as it asks for a Stripe payment API...but I think
that is for individuals and not organizations.
So we might need to get in touch the the Freedom Software Conservancy to
sort this out.

More info inline...

I agree that this is backward.

At this point we are not asking for money ... but will do soon.

This is just a discussion for a future money raising effort.

First question was whether to enable future donations via GitHub and then
via Stripe and then via the Software Freedom Conservancy.
I think that this is answered.

I think that is worth exploring the fundraising option and also to check
that we have any luck in getting a plan approved.

There are a couple of issues that needs to be solved and the GitHub process
can act as a guide... but we need:

* 1. creating a plan
* 2. finding someone to approve it
* 3. finding a way to fund the plan

Cheers
Adi
