This is what I try to do when choosing who we support with donations:
- look at library usage in our projects
- make a table of GitHub stars vs downloads on Rubygems
- donate to GitHub developers with few stars but heavy usage
There are other and unrelated selection criteria as well. For example we donate to the Web Archive and Tor because we think them to be very important infrastructure projects.
