Yes, according to these results, about 2/3rds. Several mentioned Gtk3
specifically (which is in the works), and a couple specified wanting to
fund bug fixing attention.
And of the 1/3rd not able/willing to donate, about half are interested
in helping evangelize.
Regarding funded development, I have been (very slowly) working on a web
tool to handle this. But nearer term it would be entirely feasible for
us to do this manually. There's a few different roles involved in
getting this set up, but Victor if you and others feel
inspired/motivated it's totally something we could get under way in the
relatively near term. We've already got some funding lined up, and the
paypal side of things is all in place. We just need to set up a team to
do the coordination. As the software comes online, the workload would
diminish so the scope of commitment here would be limited.
