Sure. It's less in our case about motivating developers and more about attracting outside development talent (via $$$) to fix bugs and add new features. And also being able to fund things like promotion, documentation, etc. The devs are friendly but just generally at capacity with current maintenance tasks. They accept reasonable PRs but don't accept donations.
Yes I've been looking into OpenCollective, it doesn't do all the things we need, but it does many of them and very well may find a place in this stack of tools we'll be relying on. We already have the 501c3 though so we don't need a fiscal sponsor.
