I think we need to start by defining what the needs actually are (less redundancy, more consistency, etc). Then we figure out how to best address them. It could be individuals donating VMs, or it might be Gentoo buying resources from any number of vendors, or it could be Gentoo going out and looking for donors. I suspect that if we went out with something specific in mind we might be able to find a sponsor - but it is always best to have some idea just what we're going to be using any donations for (this will be our stage3 builder which cranks out a new stage3 every 20 minutes and reports build failures to double as a tinderbox, etc).
