HOW I ALGORITHMICALLY DONATED $5,000+ TO OPEN SOURCE VIA GITHUB SPONSORS AND PYPI DATA

Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

The algorithm used GitHub Sponsors and PyPI data to identify underfunded projects based on download numbers, project size, security risk, and existing sponsorship. A weak correlation was found between project popularity and funding.
