Interesting idea, but who and how?
Let's say I want to sponsor the Servo project because I believe it's something the world needs. There's no obvious way to financially contribute to the project or to individuals other than randomly sending cash to them via PayPal using their listed email addresses on GitHub.
Ditto Firefox, but the source is in mozilla-central, so I'd have to work out how to deal with Mercurial to get the names/addresses. Another step, another barrier.
I'd also have to figure out who deserves reward, and that's not a minor task either. Then I'd have to repeat this X times for each person that should get paid, then repeat every month. It needs to be centralised to make it easy for the sponsorship.
