Add expenses/invoices/fund policy about collective HOT 5 OPEN

@wooorm That's OK but should be documented? 🤣

from collective.

Any news on this? I'm a bit confused actually.

Could you explain what you find confusing?

from collective.

@wooorm I didn't find any documentation about how will maintainers and other code contributors will be inspired. And how are we calculated about scores via contributions.

I used to contribute @webpack project as outside contributors and got email from collective maintainers about my scores in a period, and then I could choose to be paid or get more voting rights.

It seems only a few people got invoices in past months, I'm confused about that do I have the same qualification to get the invoices? How much should I be paid or inspired?

Apologize for maybe ignoring existing documentations about them.

Contributing to unified projects, including as a maintainer, is a voluntary endeavour (it is unpaid). There are no scores. Contributing more doesn’t necessarily mean you get voting rights. Everybody (except for me) is doing this next to their day job.

I currently am paid for part-time project leadership.
