Warning, low self-esteem and anxiety ahead: I really wish I had the capacity and capability to pursue this effort. I barely have the energy to be good at shitty DevOps and Terraform, writing basic Python and Node is so time consuming. I can do some Lisp, but only at the basic level of init.el and adapting a few configuration examples. I do the good thing and donate to the FSF monthly but I wish I could donate directly to Emacs because I use it every day. Even better would be to sponsor the development of a concurrency library and port of major things like magit or org. |

I've requested this whenever I've had the chance. I would be very happy to donate some cash to get core Emacs improved. Emacs has made a huge positive difference to my professional life for years. Unfortunately this is not made easy.
I think one of the issues last time I looked into it was that FSF couldn't have donations on a platform that was potentially tarnished by having e.g. non-free javascript running on it somewhere... All very correct and in tune with their mission I'm sure, and part of the reason why Emacs etc. has been so successful, but it would be nice if they were a bit more pragmatic occasionally.
