> Instead, Johnston suggests, the idea is to make it simple for open source projects to move to the sponsored open source program: “You don’t have to do anything with your account. All you have to do is apply. And if you apply, then we’re just going to bless you, wave you in, you’re good.”

I'm curious, has that been anyone's experience? From the discourse it seems like there is a disconnect between how the sponsored open source program actually works and how the CEO thinks it works.
