Hi Mike, all,

So I don't know what the solution is, but as someone who's monitoring our
social media channels, Reddit and other things every day, I see a huge
number of feature requests. Many end up on Bugzilla as enhancement requests
too, of course.
Thx for that background & the link to Ilmari's writeup.
It's clearly something we've pondered from the very early days on; the
latest reasonably concrete plan around hosting our own
bounty/crowdfunding platform was running this inside the planned
business entity.
Since bugfixing tends to be expensive, the proposal back then was to
'match' community funding with proceeds from e.g. app store sales;
thus effectively steering money towards what users would prominently
want (and also be willing to chip-in money for).
Cheers,
