Hi Rohan,

The figures are clear from the statement, and the answer is the same as
stated previously, also on this mailing list as accepted by Jonathan [1].

There wasn't a system in place for transparent accounting and donations
requests three years ago, which was taken into consideration and
subsequently fixed by the start of the Community Donations program a few
months later.

Cheers,
David.
