You're just not getting it, because you're still thinking small.

I'm not asking volunteers to do anything.  I'm proposing a model which
may *possibly* attract enough money to create an organization which
can affort to hire administrators to handle those chores, and pay the
coders for what they do best.

Think in terms of a $10,000,000 (or more) budget per year and you will
begin to see the light.
