Thanks for the wait-and-see approach taken, I likewise have shifted my opinion on this from some scepticism to mostly positive. So if there's a few people interested in pytest joining tidelift I'd be happy to support this. > If we are to join, there's the question about how to split the funds over > the core maintainers.

Why the rules about active? Seems complicated and more open to arguing. I liked the Pillow guidelines you linked: https://github.com/orgs/pytest-dev/teams/contributors can express interest and https://github.com/orgs/pytest-dev/teams/core decides on split (which I guess can be anything from 0% to 100%). With the same assumption that the core members are reasonable that should end up as roughly the same. Mind you in practice I have no issue with the above proposal of people right now, but would also not mind if e.g. hpk or ronny wanted to be part right now (I'll pass myself). Likewise there are probably cases where I wouldn't mind people not in core being paid for some time. But in general I'm +1, let's make it happen if there's anyone interested in getting paid.
