This is one of the biggest problems in OSS imo. I don't think codeberg built this with the sponsorship as the first thing in mind, which means I only see codeberg's own org and own projects asking for funding / maintenance help.
To truly fix open source we need a platform that makes maintaining (and potentially merging similar projects) a breeze. And make sponsorship simple, and make it work. Otherwise new projects will keep popping up on new platforms, and go stale instantly once the maintainer runs out of the passion fuel.
