[GEM-dev] financing Gem development

For sure! What I suggested before, which may be different from what
was originally proposed, is that the funding supports a developer to
develop the software, instead of the funding going towards the
(non-existent) Pure Data "company".

Examples of this Can be seen from GIMP:
https://www.patreon.com/zemarmot
https://www.patreon.com/pippin

And Inkscape:
https://www.patreon.com/marcjeanmougin
https://www.patreon.com/tavmjong

Does this approach seem good?
