html5lib-python development needs funding #361
Description
Activity
FWIW, last I knew things were a bit painful with most of the US-based sites and non-US contributors drawing from them. (And things generally get pretty horribly mirky for me with UK tax rules.)
Maybe you want to try https://codesponsor.io/
I think this may be a great place: https://opencollective.com/

So you can start grabbing the income, aka become a lifter.

We'd love to have one or more maintainer join Tidelift to receive funding for html5lib!! Are there any questions I could answer for you?
GitHub now provides a sponsor button that can be linked to tidelift?

https://tidelift.com/subscription/how-to-connect-tidelift-with-githubInitially I was supportive of this issue, but at the moment I'm a little less certain.
Would it be possible to state what processes would help to keep
html5lib-pythonmoving forward first, and then use those factors to determine what's required (funding / governance / other)?While stability and safety of the parser are paramount (first do no harm, basically), there's a low but ongoing and manageable volume of contributor activity on the project that could help improve correctness and potentially performance too, and it'd be beneficial to find a way to include those.

This project is big enough and critical enough that it needs funded maintainers.
As suggested in #282 (comment)
Other ideas?
Who works for a company that will sponsor html5lib-python development?
