A private phone number sufficed here. I can't see great utility in adding to
process complexity unless it comes up more frequently than it evidently does.

That said, I do wonder if additional funds couldn't be put to good use -
Debian's marketing is almost entirely word of mouth. It could conceivably be
worth lowering the bar for prospective donors. I asked for a number because I
wanted to donate, but to do so I dug through the web pages, looked at the
whois database, and finally located and subscribed to a mailing list that
included greylisting delays. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there have
been other folks wishing to donate using the same mechanism who simply gave
up somewhere before completing the hunt.
