As a heads-up, Windows users will likely be getting fully automatic
updates, starting with the 24.8 / summer version of LibreOffice [1].

The auto-updater mechanism includes an optional custom url, which
LibreOffice will then open on restart after the upgrade. Perhaps worth
pondering how to make use of that for good effect, given the above?

Note that we assume that a lot of in particular Windows users are
running older LibreOffice versions, with some reticence to
update. Making the upgrade automatic, and showing a custom donation
page, might therefore already show a measurable effect.
