I don't know if non-profit would help us here - people would have to pay
money to the non-profit entity, which would then hire someone (Alexander)

the processes have to be very clear and very fair.  We'd probably need to
move to a grant application process like what the FreeBSD Foundation does
now.
We're fine with this informal volunteer process we have now, as a way to
move money between individuals.  I've seen open source non-profits end up
with problems because money gets awarded to individual developers in a
not-too-clear way and other developers get hurt, emotionally and
financially.
I know what you mean, but being able to use such contributions for tax
deductions would surely encourage more people to contribute.

Not to forget several thou (in US$ or equivalent) that has to go for all the 
unavoidable setup paperwork and forever-after periodic filings.

That's money that can't fund anything but chair-warmers - a class already in 
massive surplus.
