I'm not sure if it's people having no opinions, but worry over voicing them.
By far, you've contributed the most to GetSimple since 2012. You are the lead developer. But Chris was the initial creator, and it has been sustained since as a team effort. It might sour some people to know that only one person is being paid to support it, when there have been other passionate core team members involved in the last four years.
Maybe get the thoughts of the other core developers first? A patreon is still a very good idea, and given that there are people who profit off of GetSimple, those continuing to do substantial work on the core software deserve to be compensated for their time and effort. But if I were to contribute financially, I'd feel much more comfortable doing so knowing that Chris, Mike Swan, Connie, etc... gave their blessing.
