Description
@wesleytodd and others opened up a great issue during collab summit last week. discussion coalesced around at least two discrete pieces of work.
this ticket would create a page somewhere that acknowledges maintainers and opens pathways for folks to directly support them and their work
this might require a lot of exploration and setting up of new things. some ideas:
- GH Sponsors of individuals
- who? how? etc
- OpenCollective??? itself a large effort
Maybe this page builds directly off of #6625 - but since that one has a clearer scope, I suggest it go first

Research direction
Review #6625 first and then the originating discussion in #6616 to understand the related work and intended scope. Identify where a funding page could live and which maintainer-support pathways are viable; done would be a published page acknowledging maintainers and directing people to support them.
