The latter seems like a good idea. I'm not sure about the former, I
think we should have a project-wide discussion about this before
changing which TO we prefer.

That is worth fixing.

It is an explicit goal of the donations page to be simple and easy for
people who don't care how they donate to Debian. The default section
is required for this goal. Please revise your patch to take this into
account.

BTW, we really need a way to make the page less annoying for
translators after updates. Something like how the merchandise or CD
vendors pages work perhaps. This could also help with the consistency
by not having to duplicate forms in the default section and the main
list.
