That is a fair question here in association with this specific enhancement, but
maybe the Ask instance is the better forum in general, while making a link back
to a BZ issue like this.

That said, the proven reality is that FOSS bounties don't really entice the
work needed on a code base like LibreOffice's. But the Community of LibreOffice
includes individuals and "Ecosystem" companies offering development support,
per issue, but for their "branded" offerings of the LibreOffice "technology"
they implement.

An individual could directly employ one of the "certified" developers to
implement a desired enhancement--but how deep are your pockets?

An individual could support the Ecosystem partners in their business efforts by
using their paid packaging of LibreOffice "technology" and your support and
"enhancements" suggestions get rolled into their efforts.

An individual can of course become a more involved Community member as a TDF
"Trustee" and assist in the project, no programming skill required just
willingness to contribute to the Foundation's operation and support of its
projects.

Some perspective can be gleaned from these past postings:
