I believe that’s what the author of Homebrew is trying to do with tea: https://tea.xyz/ https://tea.xyz/

  How about token rewards that exchange for real money(or stable coin)? The project will sell NFT licenses to back it. Tokens can also be bought and spent to get prioritized attention to the problems, feature requests, and bugs. Alongside an open forum, this will; 1. Reduce friction (no hassle of; finding a developer who will entertain your request and negotiate the terms with the person) 2. People can pool in tokens (other people who have the same problem can also contribute), and Above all, 3. encourage novice developers to participate. While I agree that you can do this without a blockchain, Web3/tokenization will; 1. Make it easier for cross-border participation; 2. Encourage early participation (you can hang on to your token rewards and see the value increase when the project becomes popular), and ultimately, incentivize the project's advocacy. Web3 unlocks ownership; by tokenizing the project, you enable the maintainers to own the project.

    This is a "when all you have is a hammer" type of idea. This product can be provided way cheaper without involving any sort of blockchain at all, by approaching the developer(s) directly and offering them money to fix your bugs or write the features you want.

To clarify: mxcl is the creator of Homebrew, but is not an active maintainer. Homebrew is not involved with Tea. (I am a maintainer of Homebrew.)
