I suppose one could tie the concept of volunteering activity with a 
voucher system,
which could then be pooled/collected with to a Guix theme for funding.

For example, it could well be that patch reviewers have a desire to 
valorise a specific activity.
Getting a specific volume of patches signed off could reach 70% of the 
threshold.
The remaining 30% is made up from the 'circles' concerning the languages 
Foo and Bar.

... perhaps there are some anarcho-syndicalists out there who can 
recommend something more nuanced.
