Which makes me wonder: where do the donations actually go? It looks like the total amount is less than 15k, so everything donated is very easily overshadowed by MSFT's contributions, and I don't see any hints at a payment-for-contributions program on the electron github.

The donations go by paying the salaries of most of the top electron devs since they work for github which is owned by Microsoft.

The donations do not come remotely close to paying even a single person's salary.
