The point is that we currently have no decision making procedure for 
which features _should_ be implemented.

Encouraging donators to offer money for features they want to be 
realized would make the situation even worse since most people not 
involved in coding don't "wish" things which would be necessary from a 
developer's point of view.

My vision:
* we should clean up these immense lists of feature wishes
* we should establish priorities
* the developers should say what makes sense and what doesn't
* the developers should give an estimate for the most important features:
** how complicated it is to implement
** if someone's willing to do it
** or if there should be a bounty set out for it (because noone wants to 
do it or noone can do it)
