The PSF has considered this, but there's not a lot of value we could provide above and beyond other organisations that already do this for open source projects in general. For example: - Software Freedom Conservancy - Software in the Public Interest - Outercurve Foundation However, similar to the more direct crowdfunding options, pointing folks towards organisations like these via the publisher-facing pages in Warehouse is certainly something that could be done, especially as their download counts start to grow.
