A great idea (thanks Tom as well). In fact, I'm surprised it doesn't
already exist.

There must be a ton of people who want an improved cropping tool.

However, I can very well see this being misused with either tons of
bogus
bug report, or getting targeted as "LO is not free anymore" or
something.


Hmm not really. Bugzilla is monitored for duplocates and odd behaviours.


Maybe if it's kept outside of the main LO ecosystem? There are plenty
of
crowd-funding websites that could be used. Is this the right place to
discuss the idea?

Yes and a possible starting point would be the OpenFunding project. But you zre focusing on the 
tool, not how to get to the developers. I cannot make primises but if you were to collect enough 
money the Document Foundation -who manages the LibreOffice project- would likely help.

Best,

Charles.


Maybe in your case you could mention in the bug report that you're
looking
for people that need this fixed, and can contribute toward this goal.

Good point, although I'd be worried it would be too little too slowly,
only as people come across the bug report.
