I have donated and even used it. On said old phones, it works decently well.
The issue is the hardware support, since most people won't want a near decade old phone who's battery you probably need to replace but can't do so easily.
Feels like they need to rally behind a more modern phone and polish that to get people to actually try it rather than fractured development. The Fairphone 4, which they already have a stable release on, would be a good candidate.
Ah well, I'll still keep up my donations anyway. Just feels like they could have more focused leadership, similar to the Linux Kernel.
I also recommend (if you're in Europe) petitioning government bodies to help fund them as well.
