Ideas:

Perhaps this could be formulated into an agenda item meeting the criteria for the community and activism call. The initial question could be if we want to pursue these general ideas at all.

This is a general overarching ticket from which more specific tickets could be spun off.

Declaration of interest: I've spent over 10 years as an unpaid volunteer working on WhatDoTheyKnow, and I seek to use the service for public spirited requests. I might personally seek support for my work via such routes if they were available.

Users could already seek donations for their work via their profiles, or by including text as a header / footer in their correspondence.

If the feature suggested at "Show the requester's user profile on each request page" (mysociety/alaveteli#6654) was implemented a user could put a support / donate link in their profile and have it appear next to all their requests.
