Paying maintainers who accept monetary donations is a good start, but the real critical thing people need to do is stop abusing maintainers. Stop abusing random people on the internet in general. Seriously.
I know we've all got capitalism brain worms, but sometimes the only thing that is accomplished by throwing money at a project is creating a customer entitlement dynamic that pointlessly increases the stress placed on volunteers.
Ask maintainers what kind of support they need.
