What are you saying? Are you saying that if I, for example, would like
to donate to one or more devs, the community has got to approve it? Or
do you mean if the devs themselves are making donations the community
has to approve it? Obviously it's only the software that is free in this
sytem. 

I think my conclution to all this would then be that g4jc and
emulatorman should take their server and do something useful with it
elsewhere. Perhaps they also could enjoy their donations in peace. 

I thought that individual donations to devs also could be mentioned on
the Parabola site? No? 

This is getting weird.
