As an open source maintainer, I would like to indicate to funders what amount I expected to raise for the solver/developer.

It is tricky because funders (e.g. users of the software) should get incentives to give money, at the same time developers should not be discouraged to continue contributing if the funding goal is not (yet) reached.

@friedger I think this ticket refers more to a crowdfunding-like feature?

In this sense would it be ok if we rephrase to "As an open source maintainer I want to add a funding goal to an issue"

Then an issue can have :

• a pledged amount
• a goal
• number of backers (funders)
