GitHub Sponsors is now available in Mexico, plus some exciting updates

GitHub Sponsors has expanded its availability to Mexico, allowing developers with a bank account in Mexico or in any of the other 31 countries where the program is no longer in beta to sign up and receive financial support for their open-source work. The platform has introduced several enhancements to improve the experience of sponsored developers, including a guide for getting started, an activity feed to track sponsorships, the ability to export sponsor data for better financial management, and automation through webhooks for various sponsorship events. Community-driven projects are also contributing to the improvement of the platform, with tools like alexellis/sponsors-functions and jasonetco/is-sponsor-label-action adding functionalities such as forwarding sponsorship events to Slack and labeling issues based on sponsorship status.
