I'm a big fan of this investment model. I don't really contribute to open source, my contribution is mostly bug reports and being willing to help the real contributors track down issues.
Stuff like this is how I contribute. I, either personally or via companies I've worked for, have done this kind of thing a lot: approach the developer and ask for our bug or feature to get pushed up the priority queue. Sometimes it's a small tip but one company gave out a $10K contract for a bunch of work.
