Given that Rafiki is one of projects that closest for us to use OpenPayments standard, do we have any ongoing discussions on how to implement revenue share with it?

I'm pretty sure we wouldn't be seeing another simple workaround like Probabilistic Revenue Sharing on Web Monetization API that could be implemented on Rafiki, especially in mandate/subscribtion use cases where long term payment will be committed to one specified payment pointer address. At the moment I can't think of any revshare solutions to this without having to go through a temporary wallet which later the funds inside could be distributed to contributors on regular basis (programmatically via cron job or on demand). However, this makes us dependent on wallet providers to roll out features at some extent (can be partially or completely closed-source and limiting potential contributions/solutions from the community), and also, currently we don't have any transparent "open source"-like wallet for Interledger à la OpenCollective that manage funds for contributors/community that could receive payments via WM API/Rafiki-based payments to be distributed to contributors.

I'm hoping to see if there's any progress on revshare via Rafiki (or any OpenPayments implementation tools). Should we create a separate thread solely discussing on revenue sharing on Rafiki, perhaps?
