The djangoproject.com sponsor prospectus now lives in a dedicated template view, and Daphne has dropped Python 3.9 support while adding Python 3.14.

djangoproject.com converted the /sponsor/ flat page into a template view [1], moving the prospectus into fundraising/sponsor.html with a dedicated URL, updating links to use {% url 'sponsor' %}, and adding the page to the sitemap. Follow-up review removed the data migration that deleted the flat page [2], so the flat page will be removed manually; the same change replaces all 28 inline style attributes. In the same repo, reCAPTCHA now works in local development [3], unblocking testing of the donation form. Meanwhile, Daphne removed Python 3.9 support and added Python 3.14 [4], a breaking change for anyone still on 3.9; the README also dropped the outdated Ubuntu 16.04 note [5]. In asgiref, the versionless License trove classifier was removed [6], and test environments now run the lint check on Python 3.14 [7]. Across the four repos this period: 9 commits and 8 PRs.
