Description
This project is big enough and critical enough that it needs funded maintainers.
As suggested in #282 (comment)
you should create an opencollective account for html5lib
Other ideas?
Who works for a company that will sponsor html5lib-python development?

FWIW, last I knew things were a bit painful with most of the US-based sites and non-US contributors drawing from them. (And things generally get pretty horribly mirky for me with UK tax rules.)

The Linux Foundation has launched CommunityBridge to help with funding, security and mentoring.

So you can start grabbing the income, aka become a lifter.

Who would actually be the maintainer if there were funding available? Are any of the current maintainers seeking funding?
gsnedders commentedon Jun 6, 2019
@twm As of next month I should have the time to actually work on html5lib, provided I'm paid for it.

We'd love to have one or more maintainer join Tidelift to receive funding for html5lib!! Are there any questions I could answer for you?

GitHub now provides a sponsor button that can be linked to tidelift?

Initially I was supportive of this issue, but at the moment I'm a little less certain.
Would it be possible to state what processes would help to keep
html5lib-python
moving forward first, and then use those factors to determine what's required (funding / governance / other)?While stability and safety of the parser are paramount (first do no harm, basically), there's a low but ongoing and manageable volume of contributor activity on the project that could help improve correctness and potentially performance too, and it'd be beneficial to find a way to include those.
