Sounds remarkably similar to that scheme HP set up a few years back.  What was 
it called?  SourceXChange or somesuch.  The largest difference is that their 
scheme had some person whose job it was to manage each project.  They got a 
small share of the money and in return they had to do things like select 
which developer would be best, determine if and how much of the work had been 
completed, etc.

Oh, another change they had was that the developer didn't do any timelines for 
getting the donations.  If a developer saw a project which was at a high 
enough level of donations (for them) they would apply (to the manager person) 
to start work on that project.

Anyway, I'm not commenting on the merits of the idea, just noting that since 
other people have done similar things before it might be worth trying to 
incorporate their tweaks rather than realising later that the tweaks were 
there for a reason.
