New sponsors-only repositories, custom amounts, and more

GitHub Sponsors has expanded its offerings with the introduction of sponsors-only repositories, allowing developers and organizations to attach private repositories to their sponsorship tiers, granting exclusive access to funders. This feature automates a previously manual process, enabling new ways to engage with sponsors through exclusive content, discussions, and early access. Additional enhancements include the ability to set minimum custom sponsorship amounts, improved transaction exports with location and VAT information for sales tax calculations, and enhanced visibility for sponsorable projects with new calls to action on Issues. GitHub has also introduced custom welcome messages for new sponsors and the capability to append metadata to sponsor page URLs to track sponsor acquisition sources. Looking ahead, GitHub aims to facilitate more company support for open-source projects and improve project discovery for both funders and maintainers, thus fostering a more robust open-source ecosystem.
