I won't presume to speak for the core devs, but I gather the limiting
factor is time availability for the people with commit rights.

That said, I myself have floated the idea of community funding several
times on #ledgersmb.

Like Ed W, I'll gladly join any round of community funding that advances
the 'basic science' parts of LedgerSMB. I think these are the same rough
spots whose repair gets deferred when the core devs must implement
paying-client work.
