How are contributions or money going to solve a release issue? If the issue is a bug, I can fix it and submit it as a patch. But if the issue is that there's no release for already made fixes, how do I fix that with a contribution or money?

Can you not offer compensation for the time it will cost the developer to make the release you need?
For what, pushing a tag to GitHub? I don't think most people would consider that something as needing compensation.
But apparently many developers of open source software would not consider that something they do for fun. I.e. it is work.
