First, a donation to the project is just a donation for what we've
accomplished. Buying a new feature or a bug fix is something different and
then you need to find someone who's willing to work on the bug and fix it for
the compensation you offer. curl has no formal organization, we're not a
formal team of developers, we don't really have bug priorities - everyone who
works on curl has their own priorities, schedules and agendas.

You cannot "expect" any results unless you arrange a contract (with a
developer).
