I think this is a good idea in general. One thing should be kept in mind though: The download template is used on localized websites too and there are some localizers who cannot due to local laws get involved in asking for donations without getting an official permit to do so. This is unfortunately the case in Finland (hopefully we are the only country with such strange laws). So if/when this gets implemented I hope the donation link or form can be overridden for specific subsites. There are other things that we could legally do on the Finnish site such as linking to a merchandise store (once there is such thing). But the basic rule here is that if we ask for money we must give something in return (and remember the taxes) or get the money collecting permit (which is not easy).
