For example https://github.com/copperhead/bugtracker/issues/451 … could be a small kickstarter alone perhaps with stretch goal for attempting to upstream it.
Actually, Kickstarter would work great for you. Until the Kickstarter is fully funded, you'd just work on your partner stuff.

Could do a kickstarter for something like public availability of Pixel releases. It's just a lot easier to sell it as a product.
-
Seems more fair too... people paying for it if they want it, rather than what we have now: a few people donate a lot and most 0.
-
IDK. I personally probably wouldn't fund *just* that. I'd want to see a plan for non-trivial improvements not already done.
-
Wouldn't be able to commit to keeping around features though, only implementing them. The base it's built on keeps changing.
-
Isn't that due partially to understaffing, which is what crowdfunding would help fix, presumably.
-
A team of developers would allow implementing a broader, deeper range of features but maintenance becomes an even bigger issue.
-
For example with security updates, we get the code on the day it's pushed and need to integrate and test it on that day.
-
For major releases, there's a lot of time pressure too because Google stops releasing factory images for the old branches.

And, if your Kickstarter got funded, that's more leverage for negotiating more interesting contracts on better terms.
