Meanwhile the [official announcement](https://opensource.googleblog.com/2023/12/google-open-source-peer-bonus-program-announces-second-group-of-2023-winners.html) has been released which lists me as a recipient of this bonus as a thank you for my work on Rust.
So this one time, it wasn't spam after all!

Thanks a lot to Google for this program at the $250 reward; it is great to see open source work honored this way.
I have donated the amount in full to [noyb](https://noyb.eu/en), who I'm sure will be using it [for good](https://noyb.eu/en/noyb-win-first-major-fine-eu-1-million-using-google-analytics).

+**Update (2024-01-07):**
+In fact, this is already my second Google Open Source Peer Bonus.
+The first was in the [first half of 2023](https://opensource.googleblog.com/2023/05/google-open-source-peer-bonus-program-announces-first-group-of-winners-2023.html).
+Due to issues with the payment process, it took a while for that bonus to be transferred, but I can confirm that it has now arrived in my bank account.
+I will have to find a suitable non-for-profit to donate this to... or it might be noyb again, we will see.
