I have a similar idea, where a website would allow you to donate a set amount every month, and then allow you to choose worthwhile projects at a high level or get very granular. For example, you could say "apache" and all the relevant projects would get a portion of your money in some percentage, or you could individually select projects. There would also be a tool to scan your code base and tell you what to support. You would then get a statement at the end of year listing what's tax deductible. Whether this is a good implementation or not, CLEARLY there is a desperate need for some way to compensate open source developers in a frictionless manner. We also need this model to be seamless for corporations and even startups. Even a boot strapped startup could afford $20 / month and then scale up as they grow. I'm surprised github hasn't added some sort of "pay for this bug to be fixed" feature.
