Maybe we can post a letter to CTO/Decision makers and put a donate to the bug squashing effort page on the QGIS site. That way larger entities that are using QGIS might get the message. IE: the IT person goes to the site for a download and see's the letter, passes it to their boss and says, we should contribute as it will help our bottom line. At this point we just may not have reached the right ears with the message since the mailing list is a very small number of actual users and the wiki site, well somehow I doubt many people stumble across that.
