I cannot speak for the Board, since I'm not currently on it. I think it's *probable* they'd be willing to be a fiscal sponsor for PyInstaller, as they have for some other things, but only if the developers really want that. All that really gets is an ability for donators to flag funds as pass-through to a specific project or organization, it doesn't make money in itself.
I find it enormously unlikely PSF would want to take over the library (or any other library). The PSF grant budget has diminished quite a bit with Covid-19 disrupting the PyCon conference that was the main source of income. Grants still exist, but they are selective.

Vampiric capital and undead corporate persons abuse the lives and control the thoughts of homo faber. Ideas, once born, become abortifacients against new conceptions.
