How would one go about being a 'rogue' OSS contributor so to speak? Live off of donations, bounties, hackathons, ect?

I sponsor this project called mkdocs material by squidfunk. I remember reading that the author gets $18k per month in sponsorships and thought that was a great example for an open source project based income.
