Wouldn't it be a better idea to compensate those who currently maintain
Org-mode informally, i.e. who still keep things (and the mailing list)
running and responsive?
I would suggest to pass donations to Bastien and/or anybody who is
actually doing the job of a maintainer, even if not with full
intensity, to compensate him/them for time and effort.
