This is a discussion that has been had several times. The issue is that the
Lilypond project does not have a central manager to act as accountant and to
divvy out donations; doing so would add a tremendous overhead. The current
funding system is for contributors to work directly with developers and pay
them directly, e.g., through bounties to address specific problems or desires.
