Can you ask them to qualify how much exactly makes it "worth the trouble"? Once you have a specific target amount, and escrow, I will willingly donate $50 to this cause.
I think we're gonna have to start raising a significant amount before they actually consider this thread something worth looking into. If you come up to them saying "how much would you want" you're less likely to get a response than "we raised $50000, how much more do you want?".
But whoever you pick to hold the funds as escrow should promise you that the money will not be used for anything other than reaching wikimedia, whenever that may be. So go for it.
