Does horde have a way of feature requesting and contributing by 
undertermined people? For example, you open a ticket and then, after 
approval, people (interested in that feature) could start "funding" that 
ticket, so developers could get the deserved compensation for 
implementing the feature. Maybe one person alone could not/would not 
sponsor a feature request, but several persons/companies could/would and 
that way everybody can benefit.
