I did, however, remember another crowdfunding platform that may be the best of both worlds here (second highest voted so far being Patreon). Ko-fi: it offers both monthly and one-time donations as well as a store where we could sell things like early access keys or things like that. Their fees are very low as well, capping out at 5%.

I'm thinking of using some bug bounty type of services to speed up bugfixes and adding new features, anyone has experience with it? I mean services like https://www.bountysource.com/ , https://gitpay.me/ or https://issuehunt.io/. Source: almost 3 years ago
I don't think we have a good model for monetary rewards for maintenance. If Haskell.org was providing support contracts covering a wide range of libraries, I would guess a lot of companies would use the option. However, signing a support contract with a maintainer of every dependency I have is infeasible. Things like Gitpay (bounties for PRs) have been tried time and again, and they never take off.
