Frankly, you already _have_ my Email address for use in Paypal
donations.  Being able to click a ready-made "donation" button with
target bar apparently takes out an additional percentage.  Unless one
can show to be a tax-exemptible charity.  And so forth and so on.

"someone else" is certainly LilyPond's most asked for developer.  Who
would not know a lot of tasks that someone else is absolutely the best
choice for?

Frankly, I'd have a bad conscience spending a week of paid LilyPond work
figuring out a way to get a clickable button for another deduction of
fees.  And if I feel bad about things, my efficiency drops about ten
notches.  That's stuff I _am_ pretty bad at.

So don't hold your breath.  But it does not appear like you do.
