Instead, we want one shared project fund so support goes to the project as a whole, not to only one maintainer. That makes it much easier to cover printing, shipping, and the occasional T-shirt thank-you gift fairly.

## Why a shared fund comes first

If supporters donate to individual maintainers separately, it creates an awkward problem: one person may receive the money while someone else is expected to handle the shirt, inventory, or shipping.

Our preferred model is:

1. Support goes into one public project account.
2. The core maintainers manage it together.
3. Shirt fulfillment is offered manually when budget, stock, and shipping make sense.

This keeps expectations clear and avoids turning project support into private side payments.
