Off the top of my head, I'm in favor of enabling donation links for
open source software, and disabling any support for paid applications,
Ideally, rather than just "donate", we'd have some way to make it clear
that this isn't Fedora-affiliated — "This project accepts donations
directly; click here to learn more" or something. I don't want people
to think that Fedora is brokering in some way — and especially not that
we're taking a cut.
And I definitely do not want to hijack the button, both because Fedora
can't accept monetary donations and because that feels... icky.
