Unproductive, unwise and unnecessary.
Many projects have full and part time paid developers. It would definitely
more be useful, for example, to ask those projects how they manage funds,
than to throw your hands in the air and spout sarcasm.
So, yes, donate to whom is the right question. The answer will come from
good project management.
Usually, developers hired full time for a project are those who have proven
their worth by their unpaid contributions, entirely independent of whether
they be loud, disciplined, clever, enthusiastic, educated, uneducated,
starving, etc., etc.
So, whatever attributes come together to define an individual who gets the
job done, are the ones we should collectively reward.
