This seems to be a mechanism for a developer, who is seeking funding
to develop a particular feature or capability, to seek support from
the Foundation.  Not quite the same thing as someone who needs a
particular feature or capability developed, and is willing to fund
(or help fund) the development, seeking a developer to do the work.
