一句话：构建持续运行的 GitHub Sponsors 观测站，支持增量抓取、归一化、仪表盘与数据导出。
开源软件的财务可持续性至关重要，但资金流向的系统研究仍然有限。GitHub Sponsors 自 2019 年推出，却缺少批量 API，阻碍大规模分析。本文提出一个持续运行的 GitHub Sponsors 观测站，通过基于优先级的图遍历、每日增量更新和实时归一化来采集数据，并以交互式仪表盘和可分析 CSV 导出开放结果。72 小时运行样本覆盖 144 个国家、49K+ 用户，仅作为工具输出示例。初步结果显示赞助参与存在显著不对称和地理集中，提示多个研究方向。
Financial sustainability is vital for open-source software, yet systematic research on funding remains limited. GitHub Sponsors, launched in 2019 as a direct developer-to-developer funding model, lacks bulk API access, hindering large-scale studies. This paper introduces a live, continuously operating observatory for tracking and analyzing the GitHub Sponsors ecosystem. The observatory performs priority-based graph traversal with daily incremental updates, real-time normalization, and exposes collected data through an interactive dashboard and analysis-ready CSV exports. A sample dataset collected during a 72-hour run captures 49K+ users across 144 countries and serves as an example of the tool's output, not a fixed deliverable. An interactive dashboard (https://github-sponsorships.com) enables practitioners and researchers to explore sponsorship patterns, filter by geography and demographics, and benchmark against funded peers. Preliminary results on the sample show strong participation asymmetries and geographic concentration, suggesting several research directions.
