You said for Kernel development we could help to donate here https://xnux.eu/contribute.html So is this guy the best to donate? is a main developer for the kernel? is there a list or kernel developers?There's no list of relevant kernel developers, but yes, megi is probably the best kernel dev for the PinePhone right now, and the best place to direct your donations. He's doing the most out of anyone by far. He's not affiliated with Pine64, he's just a programmer who is the only reason you have modem support at all.
I don't mind to do periodically donations if this moves the project. Maybe this should be advertised, so everyone interested in the PP, donate, so we can support him/them.
Sadly, it's questionable whether we can do anything about Quectel's buggy firmware at all, as they seem to be "that kind" of company. At one place in one of their licenses, it says something to the effect of "public domain for Quectel customers only", which is an oxymoron and is illegal. I think our efforts are much better spent working around the bugs, rather than trying to convince Quectel to fix their issues or let someone else do it for them.
