But.. where would they donate money?

Jokes aside, setting up an easy way to support the project wouldn't be such
a bad idea. Is this something we (tglx) could talk (convince)
linuxfoundation into hosting?

As said in the original mail, the kernel has benefited greatly from this
effort over the last few years, making the effort more formal could help
secure funding and let tglx et al focus on the task at hand and not on
silly money issues.

Just my 0.1237 Norwegian krone.
