There are already existing free software umbrella organizations that do this: one is SPI[1], another SFC[2]. I'm not sure about the particulars of them paying out bounties, but ISTR it happening or at least being discussed in the past. This would require a bit of organization on the part of the lilypond project to become an associated project, but the actual intake and disbursement of funds would be handled by SFC or SPI in an open manner.[3] I believe the overhead for both SPI and SFC are on the order of 5% (though I think SFC has a non-mandatory overhead), with additional overhead for transfer fees.
