Possibly of interest:

    [The] Debian project has been discussing the idea of paying
    developers to work on the distribution. There is some history behind
    the idea, going back to the controversial Dunc-Tank initiative in
    2006, but some think attitudes toward funding developers may have
    changed—or that a new approach might be better accepted.  [...]

    [Raphaël Hertzog] noted that some developers are being paid now to
    work on the Debian Long Term Support (LTS) project under the
    auspices of Freexian, which is a company that he founded to provide
    Debian services to companies.  [...]

    But others were not so sure that the example of the reaction to the
    LTS initiative is quite as sweeping as Hertzog said.  [...]

Here is Freexian's web page about its packaging services and fee
structure.  (Note: this is not an endorsement.  I have no relationship
with Freexian.)

Good luck in your quest,
