As I mentioned earlier, blender and krita are tricky examples because they don't run a traditional crowdfunding campaign. Blender started funding development with the pre-sales of open-movies. Krita with Training DVDs.
We should also look at MuseScore. It's a music app, sure, but it does graphical output so it's not too far out there in scope. It's community panel is fairly extensive (and way more so than my proposal, maybe a better design too, thoughts?)

They also raise money offering premium memberships and features on their website. Not saying we should do either of these things, but it's a sign more projects are moving towards stability in different ways.
I've asked them for more details on how successful these are.
