wouldn't this just lead to the projects that are already the most visible (and thus most likely to already receive donations) getting the bulk of the income?

This could also result in low effort PRs, similar to Hacktoberfest

The donors should be able to preallocate a proportion to a list of preferred projects, and the distribution within those preferred projects may or may not be based on usage.

Then the remainder can be distributed purely on usage.
