Doesn't this enable maintainers to look at someone's submitted code, deny its inclusion for any reason personal/financial, and include it at a later date and claim expense? Since the code submission is open-source, isn't a malicious maintainer able to basically copy the code in-spirit under a pseudo-account, and then claim the benefits from the fund for themself? I'm just saying that once monetary benefits are involved, incentives skew away from code quality and community, and towards number one.

Maintainers are above the other developers, is there going to be some community oversight?

Who decides how much expense can be claimed?
