Indeed. If you just ask people what they want for certain amount of $$$
you might end up building a death star :-)

I can't find the link on U.S. goverment site any more.
It is probably, more constructive to offer a project, or two, to
contribute and help to.
Or maybe you could lift up and help some popular projects to integrate
themselves better into Emacs and develop maybe some more functionality
they might be missing, something like org, magit, projectile, etc.
Maybe you could offer a coaching/mentoring to someone who has a vision
to develop some new functionality that might benefit wider audience of
users?
