Funding Lilypond: Sponsorship Request webpage?

Regarding funding LilyPond and Han-Wen's work on it, it might be nice for lilypond.org to have a webpage or link to a webpage (maybe at LSD) on which are listed all the current new feature, enhanced functionality and bug-fix requests, so that potential sponsors could review them and see which ones they might personally wish to help sponsor.

I was thinking in terms of a webpage something like a "bug tracker" webpage on other sites: an interactive page where LilyPond users could utilize the page's HTML forms and text input fields, supported by a database backend, to add "Sponsorship Requests" which describe the feature request or bug-fix desired, place their name and the amount they are willing to contribute to the sponsorship at the beginning of a list, where others could add their names and pledge amounts to the list as well.

In this imaginary scenario, there might also be a section for Han-Wen's comments, when he happens to review the page, about the feasibility of implementing such a request, perhaps a couple radio buttons for "Yes, I'm willing to do it" or "No, I don't believe that is a good idea right now," and a price quote from Han-Wen for sponsors to meet, if he believes it is a good and worthy feature.

--this idea is just a flight of fancy, so to speak. ;-) I just thought it would be nice if everyone could see, and perhaps add to, the pending feature requests and sponsorship tickets, so they would know what is going on and what they might want to help support if they are interested.
