Moving someone else's money (eg a donation or recurring fund from a company) around on behalf of someone else (like an open source project which isn't even a legal entity on its own in most cases) comes with so many legal, taxation, billing, accounting, reporting, etc. issues that it's probably not surprising that many open source projects have no infrastructure and thus no documentation around this.

That is an understandable problem to have. But it does not change the fact that, if you don't have documentation telling people how to help you, then some people will not bother trying.
