As I'm guessing that currently GNOME Foundation converts instantly to 
USD every BTC donation that is received (which in my mind wouldn't 
trigger any audits, as all finances would still be in USD), I had 
understood that this thread was not anymore about just receiving 
donations, but also managing finances in bitcoin, which is what 
apparently BitGive is doing, according to this article:

(Which is actually the main way to save costs/time on banking 
fees/processes, that could be interesting to nonprofits such as us.)
