I would also like to propose perhaps using OpenCollective.com with the Open Source Collective acting as fiscal host.
The downside of such usage would be that the OSC has a 10% fee for covering the legal fees and platform. Though that means it's unlikely it will go away. The benefit of such a platform is that, like our software, voting, and discussions - finances remain "open source." It'll also ensure a 501c status so donations aren't taxed (stateside), and can be attached to GitHub sponsors as well.
