A few thoughts, as a humble but enthusiastic guix user. I'll try to be brief:

- Having a full-time job already, I don't mind making some free contributions 
(patches, troubleshooting) for Guix, even if somebody else is getting paid to 
do it.
- I like that idea of donation money being spent to contract people to do bug 
killing, package maintenance, or to work on specific development projects.
- For me, it is critical that Guix remain a purist free-software project, in 
the way that the FSF and the GNU project promote this.
- I wonder if existing FSF systems or tooling, for their campaigns work, could 
be of benefit to Guix. FSF has an energetic system for campaigning for 
donations that seems to work pretty well for them.
- Personally, I like doing development over e-mail and debbugs, due to how this 
integrates well with Emacs functionality. It does not appeal to me to have to 
log in to some heavyweight forge Web site, through a Web browser I despise, to 
have to participate. I would be interested in other APIs and tools if I can 
utilize them all through just Emacs.
