Why not just provide direct links to the PayPal accounts of every active
developer who has contributed x amount of code on the Foundation's fundraising
page? Kinda like a tip jar. I was planning on asking the developers about this
soon anyway. 

And/or we could also have a separate software development PayPal account that
we could offer bounties from (the current PayPal account would be for general
fund expenses - mostly server related). On top of that, we could have a legal
defense fund account as well.
