[Nix-dev] NixOS Foundation

[zimbatm]

If you ever get tired to managing the admin yourself you can always join
the Software Freedom Conservancy <https://sfconservancy.org/>. I have never
used them personally but they seem to be well respected each time I saw
them mentioned. They are also much in the background and don’t touch the
branding of the project unlike the Apache Foundation.
