Apply for github sponsors?

[Ainali]

I got a notification that this organization is eligible for GitHub Sponsors. Perhaps we should apply when we have something viewable?

Related question (but should perhaps be split to it's own issue): Should we start a collective on https://opencollective.com/ to be able to receive funding in various ways? If we choose a Fiscal host there, we could then receive money without having to incorporate an organization, making it more lightweight.

Maybe both of these are a part of / dependent upon a bigger discussion regarding sustainability which we should tackle in September.

Not sure if you guys went ahead and decided not to do this, but in case you have not yet decided, I think it is a good idea to apply for it.
I am not even sure if this is the right place to comment on it, so forgive my trespassing.
