A paid membership to vote on changes and additions to the program. I think that would be pretty beneficial honestly.

So instead of a free vote you only get a paid vote?

Is there a free vote now? Have I somehow missed this?

accepts outside contributions already

Sure but those contributors don’t have a functional role in managing the project. This idea seems clearly distinct from the status quo.

They do? in fact they dictate almost the entire project, that's how open source works

Don't need a co-op for that. Just fork it and make the changes.

True, you can. But for people who may not have the skill or time but still value the browser, I think it isn't a bad idea. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good.

Then pay someone who does have the time and skill to fork it and make the change you want.
