Sponsors-only repos for custom tiers

Body

I'm considering make a repo sponsors-only.

For my existing sponsors I only have a custom tier and no fixed tiers. I really like that pay-what-you-want allows people from different income levels to participate.

It looks like sponsors-only repos have to be added to a fixed tier though. Is there any way to attach it to a custom tier, so that pay-what-you-want sponsors get access?

Hi Jamil, it's exciting that you want to give your sponsors access to a private repo. We only allow Monthly tiers (not One-time tiers) to be linked to a private repo. The idea is that private repo access should be provided to ongoing supporters and not people who just want to contribute one time just to get access to the repo.

You can learn more about adding a repository to a sponsorship tier here.

I'm talking specifically about pay-what-you-want monthly tiers like this:

There doesn't seem to be way in the UI at the moment to attach a repo to this tier. It looks like I'd have to replace it with a fixed-price tier?
