What That Means GitHub Sponsors is a program that allows developers and maintainers of open-source projects to receive financial support from the community directly via GitHub.

By enabling sponsorship:

Contributors can fund the development of features or improvements.

Maintainers may be able to spend more time maintaining and enhancing the project.

What's Required To enable GitHub Sponsors, the maintainer(s) must:

Go to the project repository (like https://github.com/Genymobile/gnirehtet)

Click on “Settings” > “Sponsorships”

Configure a .github/FUNDING.yml file, for example:

github: [your-username] Or include links to Patreon, OpenCollective, Ko-fi, etc.

Why This Is Just a Suggestion The issue is not a bug or technical problem, but rather a community suggestion asking Genymobile to consider enabling sponsorships — especially since Gnirehtet has been widely used but lacks active development or financial support.

As of now, it seems that:

Gnirehtet is not actively maintained

GitHub Sponsors has not been enabled by Genymobile

If You're a User If you're just trying to use Gnirehtet and wondering about project support:

You cannot sponsor it unless the maintainers enable it.

You may consider forking the project and supporting third-party improvements or alternatives (e.g., omkar-tenkale’s Windows script).
