This file copied from the servo repo indicates that financial support for rust-url should be directed to the Servo project, via: * [GitHub Sponsors](https://github.com/sponsors/servo), or * [Open Collective](https://opencollective.com/servo) See [GitHub documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/managing-your-repositorys-settings-and-features/customizing-your-repository/displaying-a-sponsor-button-in-your-repository). This file is notably read by [ecosyste.ms](https://ecosyste.ms/), whose [Rust Ecosystem Fund](https://funds.ecosyste.ms/funds/rust) already has donations allocated to rust-url. Donations are made to the fund as a whole, which then distributes to popular crates based on some weighing function. Although rust-url was originally created for use in Servo it is also used in many other projects and exits independently. However at this point rust-url is neither a mostly-single-person project, nor does it have its own formal structure capable of managing a budget. So if not Servo, it’s not clear to me where this money should go. The status quo is that money allocated to rust-url by ecosyste.ms remains unclaimed. For February 2026, that amount is $93.67. [ecosyste.ms says](https://funds.ecosyste.ms/faq): > Unclaimed funds are redistributed the following month. … but the details of that are not clear to me. As of this writing the [Rust Ecosystem Fund](https://funds.ecosyste.ms/funds/rust) page shows almost $21k collected (presumably USD, over its lifetime) but less then $15k actually distributed to projects.
