Dear Régis, thanks for your words.
I'm DevOps for myself, not in an open source project, but I know the adversity and I also have a life after work (LoL, no, I don't). Financially it is not possible for me to support developers of FOSS. All I can do is report bugs, suggest improvements, and distribute the product. I've helped a lot of people move from commercial GIS systems to QGIS and PostGIS and I think I've done a good job. If my words sometimes sound too hard, it is only the case that I talk about them honestly and openly. I've rung the bell several times to say that I like the tool very much - but I wouldn't even have the slightest starting point to help the developer. Maybe we should think about a concept, LibreOffice uses: Either a user delivers a patch or pays for the bug fix or feature. Croundfunding is unfortunately still too expensive, otherwise some hundred people could get together and pay $5 each. I don't think the concept of paid bugfixes is bad at all - it also opens up a completely new branch of industry.
