I'll also point out that while we understand many people make
contributions to Org, we have to trust the maintainer in not only
packaging and project management but in using any funds donated to
the project in an appropriate manner.

I've repeatedly donated to Org, and whether the money goes to server
hosting, bonuses to specific contributors, or just a nice dinner out
with his spouse, it's his choice.

Thanks.
