Hi Fabien,

one idea of lib/div is, that extension developers do a library in common,
that exctly fits their need. So far every extension developer writes it's
own one. There are many libraries in TER, but all are missing something. So
our idea has been, that it is much more economic for all, to maintain a
common library. 

Financial sponsoring doesn't fit very well, with this model. As soon as you
pay some developers, the others will have less motivation to contribute.
Now that the fundamental part's are done, I don't think, that we should
change the model. In the moment people are starting to use the library
(when beta), the amount of contributions will surely grow.
