Devs can be also funded by posting weekly reports. What I mean is to influence devs to make more moderate proposals and fill the gap with timesheets.
@theycallmedan and @blocktrades can supervise that or they can hire someone to do so. They have the community influence to support one's reports
The problem with that is: People are complacent voters. You would need some kind of way to assure repeated voting, maybe even put it in code where your vote can be cast automatically every week after the developer committed his report.
This is something that a front end could do by using a keychain active key if a box is checked.
