 But Westi's method benefits the most plugin authors with the least effort
 (i.e. plugin authors who currently have a defined Donate Link in their
 readme.txt don't have to do anything at all to take advantage of the
 plugin_row_meta Donate link).

 Wouldn't your use case be a perfect example of modifying plugin_row_meta
 DonateURI via the plugin itself, if the author wants different links in
 Extend and Manage Plugins?
