Can donations (money) to GIMP somehow speed up its development, please?
    

Currently, money donated to GIMP as a project will not be used to pay 
people for writing code, but is instead used for doing things like 
paying flight tickets to e.g. Libre Graphics Meeting.

In order to speed up development then, you would have to hire a specific 
person.
  

In the lilypond list they have this great thing.  People that want a particular feature offer to sponser it, and say how much they are willing to pay.  Occasionally others then say me too and up the ante.  Developers with interest in that area contact them individually.  It seems to work great.  A number of features have gotten into lilypond in this way.
