>I would happily pay a small sum each month for someone (or someone's) to work on FOSS software I use a lot[...] You're in luck. Gittip is exactly the model you are describing, and it's already active and supporting (in part) the works of hundreds of FOSS developers: https://www.gittip.com/ https://www.gittip.com/

Thanks, yes I knew about this though last time I checked (back around when it was announced I think) it seemed pretty dead (that exposure thing again) but now it seems to be picking up. I guess it's time to have a look around to see if there are any developers there working on things that I'm interested in/relying on. I do hope that in the future we'll see more developers who will offer less abstract development plans even though I realise that gittip is not comparable to the project specific type funding as with Kickstarter etc.
