This is a great proposal, but other than the gamification worry, I wonder if it also changes the contribution model? Eg. how motivated are you to contribute an important set of fixes to an upstream package knowing that this package is getting lots of money for the maintainer, and would not get any for you? Would you instead fork hoping to get everybody to switch over to your fork (it could even be justified: "for quicker availability of fixes, here's my fork"), and then ride it out? Certainly not everybody would approach it that way, but I am certain some would. Others might not even want to contribute and would instead just file a bug expecting the maintainer to fix it (they are getting paid 30k a month by PyPI, they might as well fix it). Basically, whenever money enters the picture, the core dynamics change, and it'd hold especially so for FOSS.
