Feature Request: Forwarding Sponsorships

[patak-dev]

It would be good if we could forward sponsorships. Some maintainers may want to redistribute to others some of the donations they are receiving, and fees shouldn't apply when sponsoring someone through forwarding (and neither the need to get the money out of Github and re-send it in another transaction). The UI could hint you about close devs, and make this flow easily discoverable so more maintainers will use it.

IMO it could help to surface key maintainers that don't have the visibility they deserve.

This is a feedback and something we're starting to think through 🎉 Cross-linking to #12217.

Hi,

I am developing open source lib and I have few sponsors. My lib also depends on another lib that has a sponsorship page. Adding the ability to forward the sponsorship will be a great encouragement to sponsor others.

Looking forward to this awesome feature 👀
