What fees (if any) are charged to either a Sponsor, or the Dev(s) being sponsored? Who is charging such fee(s)?

Body

I'm an individual, 'non-coder', who's considering making one or more sponsorships to some open-source devs. Before making that commitment, I want to know what fee burden, if any, would be involved. That's all. Thanks.

I DO think it would be good for this fee info to be posted on the main GitHub Sponsoring page: https://docs.github.com/en/sponsors/sponsoring-open-source-contributors/sponsoring-an-open-source-contributor-through-github

Hi @ww49, thanks for being a part of the GitHub Community!

GitHub Sponsors does not charge any fees for sponsorships from personal accounts, so 100% of these sponsorships go to the sponsored developer or organization. If you have additional questions, you can find more information here: About GitHub Sponsors.
