[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 0/2] web/donations: Add section for individual developers

[Michael Niedermayer via ffmpeg-devel]

This was suggested to me.

Allowing only donations to a 501(c)(3) restricts both donators as well as developers

This style of donation page has worked well for other projects.
I agree we have had issues with limited scope of donations. This should 
make it easier for all involved and less issues.
Donations can be specific , even hardware donations if you ask for a 
specific computer hardware piece. Does not have to be monetary 
donations.


Just send a patch to add yourself to the page. ez done.

are we going alphabetical ? randomizer order? only people with git write 
access are allowed in the page? or just anyone with any maintainership ? 
i doubt there will be many people who want to be listed who arent 
maintainers, but i vote for inclusion if they wish to be there. for 
people who are still actively maintaining some filter or chipset. or 
maybe they maintain some multimedia wiki that we all use.

this would be similar to the consulting page layout ?

which was empty
