Spare a thought too (and some cash) to the forefather that made this all possible: Debian.

What's with the December spike?

People getting end of year bonuses, or corporate budgets that must be used in full before the end of the year. Also people maybe donating in someone else's name as a Xmas gift.

Nice.

Now, as we reach high enough donation amounts to pay for the maintainers' time and tools and the repo server fees, we can consider the next stage.

Having platforms where people can post feature/fix requests along with bounties, which the poster can put up and others can add to. This way, the funding for the ecosystem of maintainers + core devs + contributors can be fulfilled.
