Actually, the Evergreen community is in a trial period of using
LaunchPad (http://launchpad.net/evergreen) for many of these purposes
(bugs, blueprints for future developments, for indicating interest in
a particular bug or feature, translations, etc). LaunchPad doesn't
have a formalized interface for "sponsorship claiming" or a funding
model attached to it, but to be frank KCLS runs the risk of investing
lots of money in developing a solution to a problem that the rest of
the Evergreen community isn't interested in.

I guess we'll have to wait and see what they come up with and evaluate
it then. In the meantime, the LaunchPad experiment continues.
