In such case can we confirm that when the t-shirt is sent this will be
asked again? Because it would be bad to have to resend t-shirts or
people with t-shirts that fit badly, hence unhappy donors.

While it's not a determinant fact, we should try to keep the donors as
happy as we can, and if putting sizes in the page saves a sad face in
someone, then it's worth it.
