The following three research questions were constructed to guide the study. * RQ1: *Who participates in GitHub Sponsors?* * RQ1.1: *What are the characteristics of sponsored developers?* * RQ1.2: *What are the characteristics of sponsors?* * RQ2: *What characteristics make developers more likely to receive sponsorship?* * RQ3: *What are developers' perceived challenges and benefits related to sponsoring?* * RQ3.1: *Why are develpers looking for sponsors?* * RQ3.2: *What is the impact of (not) getting sponsorship?* * RQ3.3: *Why are developers sponsoring?* This artifact is a repository including lists of studied repositories on GitHub, a dataset for the network diagram for answering RQ1, the features for sponsored and non-sponsored developers for RQ2, the features for sponsors for RQ2, and survey material and coding of responses for RQ3.
