-How do the different tiers/perks work?::
-    The perks you will receive are based on the *total amount* you
-    contributed (without GitHub's matching) until May 2020. For example, anyone who contributed $15 by the
-    cut-off date will get qutebrowser stickers. You could reach that amount in
-    different ways: As an example, you could sign up for the $3/month tier in
-    November/December 2019, so that you paid that amount 5 times by then. Or
-    you could sign up for the $15/month tier at a later time to reach the same
-    goal.

-The displayed tiers take that into account - they're designed for people who
-sign up in 2019 and keep that tier until May 2020. In January 2020, they will
-be adjusted accordingly.

-In some cases, a tier allows you to reach a reward goal in a single month, but
-another higher goal when you keep it for those five months. For example, if you
-select the "shirt and premium swag" tier, you will receive stickers even if you
-only keep the tier for a single month, but get shirt and swag when you keep it
-for five months.

 Is it possible to contribute via a one-time donation instead?::
    If you prefer a one-time donation, there are various possibilities:
 +
-- Select a tier which covers the goal you want to reach (note that payments are
-  prorated based on the current date). After the payment is processed, cancel
-  your GitHub sponsors subscription again. This has a big benefit: Thanks to
-  GitHub's matching fund, your donation will be doubled (and nothing will be
-  lost to fees).
