Right, I added it later to www.gnupg.org.  It was already mentioned in
the FSFE's press release but not everyone may have seen that.  As of
yesterday WHS received about 1000 mBTC for the GnuPG project.

There are two reasons why there is no direct bitcoin support:

I do not want to keep volatile Bitcoin assets in the g10 code books.  It
is too much work for a small company to maintain more than one currency.

Stripe.com has a closed beta for Bitcoin and I am waiting to make use of
that.  The alternative would be to a use another Bitcoin service
provider but I try to avoid that.


Shalom-Salam,
