Yeah, this was among my concerns. Your idea to issue a statement of
solidarity, however, seems like an elegant way to avoid this.

Regarding financial support, I'd strongly suggest to do this outside
of Debian, i.e. raise funds. I'll contribute. But I wouldn't want to
set a precedent that Debian coughs up legal fees for project
members. Here be dragons.
