Hey everyone, I'm Pono and I'm the new project liason and community organizer
at the Software Freedom Conservancy. Sorry I'm a bit slow to respond here.

Conservancy is more than happy to take over these hosting costs. At ~300€ a
month, there's roughly 8 months of funding for that infrastructure in the bank.
Let me know what the best way to coordinate adding me as a billing contact to
the (multiple?) Hetzner account(s) is.

This leads me into the second point of getting together to plan a fundraiser. 
Is this thread a good place to start the conversation or is a new thread 
preferred?

Feel free to reach out to me on list, email or libera (I'm pono there).
