As you said in (2), `According to official Apache policy, the ASF
doesn't accept "cash for code"`, I am not sure we can create open collective
for "apache/groovy"(BTW, I can not access "apache/groovy" via my github
account).
If we can not use "apache/groovy" to create open collective,
"groovy/groovy-core" may be better, but we have to explain the reason in the
open collective.

Agreed.

Yep. That's the reason why I sent the email via my personal hotmail.

"I would be inclined to keep it simple and focus on core Groovy for
now. ", I think wording focuses on core Groovy would be better, e.g.
"Groovy Programming Language"?

The opencollective site will record all "contribute" and "submit
expense", which is open to all people, e.g.
https://opencollective.com/vuejs#budget

Yep. OCI is a great company for Groovy! We always appreciate its
sponsorship.
Let's imagine that would be really great if more people involve into
developing Groovy, more big features(e.g. MOP2, async/await) are completed
and hard issues(e.g. generics of STC) are fixed every year :-)
