A little late on the table, but +1 for this idea's too. I think this
make QGIS stronger, when we discuss ideas more broadly.

One think I would like to add in a proposal, is a definition on what is
to be the 'end product'. That is something written what can be used to
'check' if the proposal is finished or not.

Maybe some 'check mark questions' like (all fake, but getting more
difficult to accomplish):

- the Foo provider will provide a base for running Foo scripts in future
- the Foo provider can run the following basis Foo scripts (or tests)
- the Foo provider is able to run all scripts the old provider did
- ...

Based on that it is easier to decide to pay out or partially or not.

At this moment some proposals contain rather broad end products like:
"this will be implemented for QGIS 3.4"

OR am I talking to too many managers recently :-)
