I worked alongside momostafa to bring the @OpenAI
Responses API to PHP.

This is a beast of an API supporting 5 different input formats, 4 different tools and a lot more. Fully typed into the OpenAI-PHP library.

v0.13.0 of the library is out now with support!

I did my first ever bulk sponsorship on @github.com and boy it was a challenge.

- Export 193 maintainers (from code I use)
- Expect to donate $500 so 2.57 per person.
- Only 119 valid because "minimum donation amount" higher than that (some maintainers minimum are $100)
