Description

The purpose of this PR is to create a reward/incentive for developers who contribute to the core-js project.

This is achieved by registering the project with the tea protocol, a newly created initiative to offer incentives to developers of registered open source projects.

This pull request creates a registration file (tea.yaml), which enables the project to start earning incentives.

Additional context

The tea protocol distributes intrinsic incentives to opensource projects, based on the value they bring to the open source ecosystem. It also distributes donated incentives to a project and its downstream components, so those downstream components get appropriate recognition for the value they contribute.

Early adopters to the tea protocol earn greater incentive rewards, as rewards only start accruing from the point the project is registered. The full background to the tea initiative is explained here https://tea.xyz/what-is-this-file

The tea protocol scans github for the tea.yaml file in this pull request, as a basis to start accruing incentives

I am a tea protocol community member tasked to find and propose high value projects to receive incentives. I do not receive the incentives that stream to this project, these are earned by the project and its contributors.

I do receive a 1 off recognition for finding worthy projects. This project was one of my 1st thoughts to propose, as it is a common dependency in project I've developed

Do not under any circumstances allow this merge. Clearly, some kind of crypto scam.

Let's reject this. Refs https://connortumbleson.com/2024/02/26/the-disappointing-tea-xyz/ -- tea.xyz itself might be safe, although its execution is extremely flawed, and if you merge this, you're giving them access to the tokens (or money?) associated with this project. See also https://www.web3isgoinggreat.com/?id=teaxyz-spam.

This might have good intentions, but its execution has been found disappointing by many, including me. Sad that the creator of tea.xyz is the same guy who wrote Homebrew.

DO NOT MERGE. Again, DO NOT MERGE. Decline this.
