Thought this was about how one should rationally decide how often to pull from master and build emacs.

lol… same. Though in my experience over the past year, I’d say it’s fine to pull from master for a new build pretty much wherever you feel like it, 99.6% of the time it’ll work just fine :)

How can I donate?

Whenever you have urgent work to do that requires a stable and well-behaved Emacs, why?

I agree, never been one for the bleeding edge. Every new version has enhancements but Emacs has basically been working the way I want it to for decades.

It's simple enough to change builds: just modify symlinks for `/usr/bin/emacs`, `/usr/bin/emacsclient` and `~/.emacs.d`

Exactly the philosophy I follow.

Thanks for your offer, currently I'm not setup to handle donations. Maybe in the future I'll setup GitHub Sponsorship.
