Dear Manu, I think that this was a good discussion, including the latest answers made to you by Paul and Russ. I wish you good luck, as much of the work is ahead. I hope that further discussions with the FreeDesktop, FSF, and other distribution communities will be fruitful and that one day Debian will redistribute a tool such as the one that is taking shape. Just as a small comment: while it looks nice to have a command called "donate" (especially for English-speaking users), I think that such a direct dictionary word should be avoided, so that alternative programs can flourish if needed. But I do not have a better name to suggest. (note also that there are other point of views on how to best name a program).
