Please opt in for donations

Alex, Friends,
so I am resubscribed to the KDevelop mailing list now. 

Wrt. donations: 
I am not quite sure that donations make a lot of sense for KDevelop.
What would the money be used for? Who would get it? And why wouldn't we
tell people to give to the KDE.e.V organization instead? 

Also more people can open Paypal accounts and we can put them in the
admin list on the sf website. 

I am still a great fan and supporter of KDevelop. I have been inactive
due to familiy and job responsibilities but I would still love to help
out in some way. 

Best regards,
Roland

PS: The developer mailing list has become quite unusable for me due to
the high volume of bug reports with very small S/N ratio. Couldn't the
bug reports get rerouted to kdevelop-bugs and a digest email sent to
the actual kdevelop-devel mailing list?
