Welcome Malta and Cyprus to GitHub Sponsors—plus updates!

GitHub Sponsors, a program designed to financially support open source project maintainers, has seen significant success in its initial year, with individuals like Caleb Porzio earning $100k annually through sponsorships. The program's expansion continues as it becomes available in more regions, including Malta and Cyprus, bringing the total to 34 supported regions. Recent developments include the release of features like sponsored organizations, sponsorship transaction export options, and the ability to display selected repositories on profiles. With continuous community feedback, GitHub strives to make the Sponsors program more accessible and lightweight, encouraging further participation from both sponsors and maintainers globally.
