My main idea is that freelance sites are sort of broken: you pick a worker, he works on things for a while and then you see if he screwed up or not.

You can't really trust his profile. Reviews are also often inconclusive.

It would be better if you could submit a small milestone, let multiple people work on it and pick the best result. Then continue working with that developer.

And then this can be expanded into a platform where not only a single person can be an employer, but people can combine their funds to crowdsource various tasks. Good example would be open-source projects.

Oh, that's really good, starting with a small milestone that's a low risk commitment to both parties. Thanks for explaining. Do you mind if I add that to the site as a project idea so people can vote on it?

Of course not :)
