Donating should be its own reward. I have donated and have a link. I'm
FINE with the nofollow, or robots.txt exclusion, or whatever. I donated
to help the project a little, not to gain fame and fortune. That *any*
amount will get you on the donation page is a nice, free bonus. And
notice that there are no amounts next to the name, so for a little money
you can get listed right along someone who paid a lot. Nice, eh?

If you want PR, learn how to get it or pay SEO fees.
