To be honest, with some other open source projects I've wanted to "pay for someone else to do it". But like, that's actually _also_ a lot of effort! Especially for projects that are "abandoned" or have no obvious owner, since then you're in "hire a random X programmer to do this for you". I feel like more OSS projects should go beyond "Donate" and have a "buy a feature/bug fix" button.

> "buy a feature/bug fix" button. You could run into a problem with a lot of OSS no-warranty policies this way.

  "Sponsor a sprint". No guarantee of success, but if you're paying their salary for the next two weeks, you pick their tasks.
