I donate to specific projects through OpenCollective. I do not want Github to take extra money from me and then redistribute it to projects I don't care about according to some formula that will inevitably be exploited to get free $$$.

If you want to support a project, submit a PR or send them a check. Don't force me do it for you.

Amen, GitHub is already a faustian bargain for FOSS projects, this kind of thing will just entrench it further.
