Foundation, not founder; foundations are required to be much more accountable with funds than individuals are. I'm suggesting in most circumstances that it's preferable to give to an accountable organization chartered with the stewardship of a project, rather than to any particular individual.

Well this is a useful discussion, because I'm realizing how much I want to give the maker/user community itself the power to hold itself accountable. To take your point to the logical conclusion is to assert that all successful OSS projects should have a foundation, or even a for-profit org. I'd like to see something looser, a dynamic, democratic assignment of value by those who benefit the most.
