The record

Purpose: Galette is an open-source web application for managing memberships and contributions, designed for nonprofit organizations.
Membership tools: Features include membership and contribution management, member groups, manager roles, expiration calculation, mailings, and member self-service profile editing.
Data handling: Galette supports imports and exports in open formats, configurable forms and lists, dynamic fields, search, and display filters.
Databases: Galette relies on MariaDB or PostgreSQL.
Plugins: The plugin system extends Galette, with official plugins for PayPal, maps, events, activities, vehicle clubs, and object lending.
Payment integrations: Community-maintained plugins are listed for Stripe and HelloAsso payments, and for using Galette as an OAuth2 provider.
Security: The 1.3.0 release describes optional experimental two-factor authentication, login and recovery throttling, CSRF protections, SameSite session cookies, and sanitization of stored content.
Requirements: The 1.3.0 release requires PHP 8.3 or later, the fileinfo PHP module, and JavaScript in the browser.
Deployment: Galette can be installed from an archive and is also available as a Docker image or YunoHost application.
Support: The project lists Matrix, Discord, IRC, mailing lists, and a bug tracker as contact and support channels.
Support expectations: The project says instant messaging replies depend on whether someone is available, and asks users not to request support on social networks.
Notable scope limit: The project says accounting features were considered but declined because they fall outside its focus on members and membership.
Release support: The project says it supports only one major release at a time, with a limited exception for security fixes shortly after a new major release.
Maker and history: The about page names Johan as developer and maintainer since 2007 and recounts Galette's project history beginning in 2003.
