Obvious we cannot have crowd funding for every moving part in Fedora
that would just be ludicrous so we need to apply that concept upon
the entire project, as in Fedora would be just a one crowd founded
project.

The first issue that comes to mind (for me) is "who cuts the checks"?
IOW, who is going to be the person responsible for the money itself, and
who has oversight to ensure money's being properly managed and not
siphoned off?
We would need to form a financial sig that handles that.
Who decides how much gets paid for a bug bounty?
Well no one these again are donations
What do we do if we have no funds? Do we want bug fixes to become a paid
thing, and wouldn't that be a disinsentive if we were to have no money?
These are donation not fixed incomes per bug fix so things would remain
as they already are.
What if upstream introduces bugs so they can then get paid to fix them?
You wont be paid to fix each bug however donation could be made to set
bounty on bugs/rfe/designs as in I as a donator want or need #123456 to
be fixed and I donation $1000 to make that happen other could pile on to
that amount until the bug eventually gets fix then the person or the
team that does so collects that bounty.
