As one of the auditors of accounting I'll add that tracking money that is 
allocated to a specific project will make book keeping much more complicated. 
I'm not sure whether the simple tracking of income and expenses that we 
currently do will be sufficient.

In my opinion, paying people for doing KDE stuff (reminder: we do already pay 
quite a few people for doing important KDE stuff) is orthogonal to allocating 
money to specific projects. Complexity of book keeping would change from O(n) 
to O(n²).
