I know a lot of time is spent to build packages, especially kernels.
Emulatorman currently maintains about 800+ critical packages, including
our linux-libre kernels.
We could try to automate this with a build-server, but it would be risky
to do this via VPS to insure package integrity from hackers,
third-parties, etc.

I also only work part-time, and currently donate two mirrors, but I have
been thinking on how to keep the core development team around for the
long-term.
As such, I won't be seeking any donations at this time. But to the core
developers that need it, you know who you are and we thank you for your
generous contribution to keep Parabola GNU/Linux-libre alive and working
as it is today! :)
