Would you mind elaborating on this comment? What are some reasons why one would pay to promote their package?
edit: Great stuff btw. Would love to see this for Python/Java packages

Some use cases where package maintainers might be willing to pay to promote their packages: * API companies that want to promote their product, mainly newcomers to the market that look for developers' mindshare, but probably incumbents as well. * DB and other infrastructure companies that have packages (drivers, libraries, tooling) * SaaS companies who's users are developers (e.g. monitoring, logging, analytics) * Some indie developers who are willing to pay a few bucks to get those first thousand users to their package and get it off the ground. * Software development firms/agencies that build packages as a means of showcasing their expertise, use the package as a way to build reputation and get more clients
