i'll ping steve to drop a comment here from his POV. while we don't have anything formal in place, developers are self-managing and make their own choices about the software they are maintaining.

if you know a model that works where we could have clear boundaries, we'd be happy to explore! in the meantime, I hope you can look at the past few years of development to get an appreciation of whether we have maintained an arms-length relationship

some other non-obvious ones:

- most of the client libs are a result of supabase: https://postgrest.org/en/stable/ecosystem.html#client-side-l...

- we sponsor a contributor, managed by steve (I believe he mostly works on performance): https://opencollective.com/supabase-postgrest/expenses

steve joined supabase in June 2020 (before our seed round). iirc the project was earning something like ~$300/m in donations which he was splitting between the contributors. it's basically impossible for open source projects to sustain themselves (IMO) through donations
