One of the projects I'm a maintainer of does the same thing. I am very strongly against donations because it can create an unnecessary burden on staff and an expectation by players that we don't want to have happen.

Using it and reporting problems is what anyone can do, hopefully someone able to file a proper bugreport will come along.

No one is worthless
