It's more this way. The organizational structure of Linux, which is the main part of or similar to our project, is pretty much anarchistic, highly organized and egalitarian, but voluntary and decentralized. I would say - following your pain or joy and sharing results are the ways to go.
Whatever help we get in what do we do is appreciated - we are already working at the full capacity and putting more pressure on regulars is, on my opinion, contra productive. We can easily burn out and then what?
There is also a small award from my side - I do arrange free hardware samples redistribution and there is some budget allocated which is shared with regulars.
