Well, if you really wanted a feature like that, you could:

1. link it to the person who donated their time's personal page if they've got one (or a page of their choice if they don't).
2. Have a generic "Time" logo/label and state that it was paid for by a donation of this person's time.
 
In an opportunity cost sort of way they paid for it by not going gardening/bike-ride/something-else-but-coding.

Of course this might also identify which devs might be seen as a soft touch...
