No, let's not do this. This is a weird perversion of how open internet should work. Too much control and management layers on the way. This honestly feels like some corp's fake-grassroot campaign. (Inviting donations and looking for interested hackers... yet something feels off...) It continues to pop up in various places without a serious rationale that can't be immediately dismissed as at least stretching the truth. I've not seen any known, serious people discuss it and be excited about it anywhere. This really smells BAD to me.
