This was something npm was actually thinking about: https://twitter.com/izs/status/755802779432562688

This makes alot of sense. I would be surprised if it didn't happen at some point considering how impactful patreon style funding has been for other small projects.

I do worry some that this might create an incentive for businesspeople to agressively and unnecessarily fork popular projects in hopes of skimming money from the actual developers. So far app spam hasn't been a big problem because there hasn't been any money in it.
