Thanks!

I removed the whitespace changes, which were formatting changes on the
donations page that were not relevant to the patch. I also fixed up
several instances of broken HTML.

The link was incorrect because it contained a ".html" suffix. I fixed it
to the corrected link.

Similar comments to the above. Here is the revision.

My one concern with this change is that while it presents the updated
information about donating to SPI, it's not clear how to actually submit
a donation. I clicked on the link that's now semi-buried in the page,
which brings me to a long wall of text on the SPI page that makes it
difficult to parse.

I think we should at least maintain what we currently have[1], i.e. a
clear button that at least goes to this page:

https://www.spi-inc.org/projects/postgresql/

Attached is v2 of the patch.

Thanks,

Jonathan

Yeah, I think I may have overcorrected on this, and could get on-board with the idea of modifying the button to go directly to the Postgres page @ SPI as a good mix of lowering the maintenance but also making it simple for folks to donate. Do you want to have a go at making that change, or do you need me to take another stab at a patch?
