I'd love to pay for features development in inkscape!

Hi Inkscape developers!
There is an old open ticket about gradient banding issues in Inkscape - https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/180693 - and the Fedora Design Team hit it pretty hard when putting together the Fedora 25 background in Inkscape. It's a difficult problem because there aren't many workarounds. We weren't able to fully remove the banding in our final version.
We're designers without much development experience so we can't fix the problem, but we have a lot of interest in doing whatever we can to help. One of our team members suggested trying a crowdfunding approach like Krita has done, e.g. -

I wanted to run this idea by you and see what you think about it. We don't want to apply any unwanted pressure, and realize anyone taking on the bug who isn't already a part of your team would need mentorship / help from you, so I don't think it'd be a good idea to try this unless you were willing to be involved.
Let me know what you think about this, or if you have any other ideas on how we might be able to help!
Thanks!!
