Maybe we need a meta-donor service that can support the common funding channels: GitTip, Flattr, StackAid, Thanks.dev, Patreon, etc. And do it based on the receiving dependencies preferences. Otherwise the fragmentation means no one of these will be of much use to truly reach the devs most in need.
Ideally however it's done would also minimize transaction fees and perhaps provide some sensible default along with tuning of rules. For example by default no money goes to megacorps and less goes to devs known to be rolling in funds.
It could also default to emailing a monthly breakdown, so one cannot forget. Maybe even gamify things a bit with donor leaderboards and notices when more of your deps start accepting funds.
