This subscription allows it to pay maintainers of those Open Source +packages to aid sustainability of the work. + +Funds +===== + +It was decided in the `mailing list`_ that the Tidelift contribution will be split evenly between +members of the `contributors team`_ interested in receiving funding. + +The current list of contributors receiving funding are: + +* `@asottile`_ +* `@blueyed`_ +* `@nicoddemus`_ + +Contributors interested in receiving a part of the funds just need to submit a PR adding their +name to the list. Contributors that want to stop receiving the funds should also submit a PR +in the same way. + +The PR should mention `@pytest-dev/tidelift-admins`_ so appropriate changes +can be made in the Tidelift platform. + +After the PR has been accepted and merged, the contributor should register in the `Tidelift`_ +platform and follow the instructions there, including signing an `agreement`_. + +Admins +====== + +A few people have admin access to the Tidelift dashboard to make changes. Those people +are part of the `@pytest-dev/tidelift-admins`_ team. + +`Core contributors`_ interested in helping out with Tidelift maintenance are welcome! We don't +expect much work here other than the occasional adding/removal of a contributor from receiving +funds.
