There's a nice phrase @timoreilly uses: "creating [far] more value than you capture". Healthy companies do this, while making a reasonable return. But open source authors often capture almost none of the (enormous) value they can create.
It'd be good to find ways for open source authors to capture more of that value, while retaining all the benefits of open source. @feross's essay is a great thoughtful survey of the problem!

I'm likely missing a lot of nuance coming from a finance background, but an "automated downtime unless a pre-announced funding target is reached" along with "high profile recognition of donaters" looks like it should work?
The likely outcome is abandonment of any such packages by the big cos that use them, destroying one of the main types of value open source creates.
I don't think it's accidental that open source authors capture so little of the value they create.
Here's a passing thought I've been having. What if we have a service where we donate $10 per month and we can decide what % of it goes to what maintainers. You can change the percentages at any time.

I'd echo the sentiment expressed already - only add that if you don't need the funding there's likely other channels that do where you could pay it forward with the same big picture/sci dev. goals in mind.
