Like a bounties page? (If such a thing doesn't currently exist it would be a good idea for someone to start one) In my experience though they generally don't get a lot of attention and you're maybe better off on a case-by-case basis approaching a developer you know that could do the work for you. Is there a company that produces a commercially supported version of FreeBSD that also actively contributes back and doesn't keep anything closed? (ixsystems is about as close as I can think to such a thing. Sorry if this is really obvious, but I don't track this space so closely)
