Hi!
One interesting option could be that the existing tor servers non-profit applies as a host organization. And then other tor-based projects could be fiscally sponsored by it. That means other tor-based projects would not have to have/be a non-profit (and could decide to not take any pay cut). But it would not solve the current problem which seems to be the lack of people to run the tor servers non-profit itself. Also, I think it is better if donations would be collected for all projects and distribute that instead of individual projects trying to raise donations.

Okay, I´ll bite. How do they solve this?
You can see the list of hosts they have here:
https://opencollective.com/hosts
They have ready made non profits in Germany (eingetragener gemeinnütziger Verein) that I can use and rename and you will take care of it?
You do not rename. They are just fiscal sponsor:

That process is being abstracted by Open Collective.
And the 6 people will be delivered to?
I do not understand what you mean by this.
So basically slavery with extra steps and a 5% cut ...
I do not understand what you mean by this. It is a service they offer so you do not have to take care of non-profits yourself. If you want to take care, great. But if you have lack of (human) resources to take care, then you can use their service. How is this slavery? It looks pretty voluntary to engage with them (do the degree of business partnerships being voluntary in our society).
