I was going to start working on this, but yeah the issue is that the website would still act as a middleman to send the money around. There are a few problems with this:

- some use paypal, some use patreon, some use neither so where do you send the money

- even if it was either paypal or patreon, they would take their cut which is unfair.

- even if organizations/foundations would give their bank account info, you could probably use stripe to send the money to the right place, but not sure.

I would be happy to discuss about this by email as I think it is an idea that could be further explored.
