So the questions is: is there someone who would'd love to work on his pet e= macs feature full time instead of in his free time? Because if so and it's = a popular feature (e.g. graphics canvas for emacs, vscode-like instant supp= ort for languages which sets up the lsp server, lsp client and completion a= utomatically, etc.) then it's very likely the community would support that = developer via crowdfunding for several months of full time emacs work in re= turn of getting those features quickly in a few months.
