The problem is organization.  Who decides who gets what money?  What about
features that are paid for and worked on and not accepted into the
community codebase?  This was something I hoped the PostgreSQL Foundation
http://thepostgresqlfoundation.org/ would step in and do, but we seem much
more focused on advocacy efforts rather than developemnt ones.
