Hmmh, just read some more here [2] where it says:

"Anyone with a GitHub account can sponsor anyone with a sponsored 
developer profile or sponsored organization profile through a recurring 
monthly payment."

So, that means that only people on github can sponsor ? And that 
sponsorship necessarily means a "recurring monthly payment" ? If any of 
those two are true, then I think this would be a possible complement to, 
not a replacement of our current PayPal money pool.
