I'd let the Fedora maintainer make this decision; the donation URL is actually specified in the upstream AppData file so if we start shipping packages based on the forked tarball releases we'd ship to the new donation URL. > Or a variation of that is if contributors to the > project disagree about where donations should go > and we get competing requests for where that link > should point or if there should be a link at all. I don't think we'd want to "inject" a new donation URL for projects but rely on the upstream decision. If upstream doesn't want, or can't accept, donations then there would be no donation URL defined in the AppData file and we wouldn't show a button. If any package maintainers end up changing or adding a donation URL then that would probably up to the council whether that's a good thing to do or not. I certainly don't think it would be a good idea in general. Also, perhaps not the right list but I expect for RHEL we'd not want donations at all, so this probably needs to be a gsetting or configure flag at the very least.
