Probably for Arch Linux and FFmpeg this is due to single large donations in 2018, since in 2017 year the amount of funds was comparable to 2019, and on the Arch Linux and FFmpeg sites ΠΏΡ€ΠΎΠ΄ΠΎΠ»ΠΆΠ°ΡŽΡ‚ ΠΏΡ€ΠΈΠ½ΠΈΠΌΠ°Ρ‚ΡŒ donations through SPI. For systemd, a surge in donations in 2018 is most likely due to the accession of this project to SPI and the information wave that arose because of this (on the site systemd there is no donation page).
