Emulatorman currently maintains about 800+ critical packages, including our linux-libre kernels. We could try to automate this with a build-server, but it would be risky to do this via VPS to insure package integrity from hackers, third-parties, etc.
I also only work part-time, and currently donate two mirrors, but I have been thinking on how to keep the core development team around for the long-term. As such, I won't be seeking any donations at this time. But to the core developers that need it, you know who you are and we thank you for your generous contribution to keep Parabola GNU/Linux-libre alive and working as it is today! :) Luke
