No, but we should strife to enable developers however we can.
We are only gathering stuff others gratiously provide us access
to, after all.

I think this goes further.
Once we have e.g. donation info in nixpkgs, we can decentrally
do stuff like Flattr, without need for a third party.
With an interface for donation/payment as microformat
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microformat) even the step
of actual payment can be further automated.
Definitely the right direction if you ask me.

Well, apart from scrapping money altogether, but that’s
a discussion for another day. :)
