We have already a working OSS-bounty-system in use http://www.opensourcexperts.com/. Many aspects could very well be improved but a solution like this would create a market- or bazar-like place for sofware improvements.
If the government/administration really wants to support software development, it can double the bounties for example. I would not follow with the voucher-idea because vouchers are free and you don't have to think on how to spend them.
