Tidelift's maintainer page now redirects (status unverified)

What changed: the Tidelift maintainer income page redirects to SonarSource's security solutions page; whether maintainers can still enrol and be paid per package is unverified (observed redirect). Treat the program as changed until Tidelift or SonarSource states otherwise.

If you relied on it

• Check your maintainer dashboard and last payment date, and ask in writing what the program's status is.
