Good.

I know. I only mentioned Emacs auto-save as a generic example that
(IIRC) Emacs never overwrites user data without asking, regardless of
mechanism.
Oh, and in my quick testing in Spacemacs (this time I didn't start a
minimally customized instance), setting `ebdb-save-on-exit' to nil
(either with `setq' or with Customize) has no effect if EBDB is already
open. I believe it would be better to change this behavior. One reason
is that it is counter-intuitive. Another is that the user might open
EBDB, make some changes and then realize she does not want to persist
them.

Good! It would be even better if you had a more free-software-friendly
mechanism of donation. Maybe Liberapay? By the way, if you could
entirely move away from GitHub, some of us would be happier.
