I don't understand what you mean. Future work is future. It's not like rewarding past efforts. A past effort doesn't imply feature requests going to the same person and implementing those features doesn't constitute a reward for past efforts.
Hello , Mathieu! Well, I did not refer to implementation of new features, but the maintenance of that code that already works, fixing bugs. If I contributed financially to a project, I think some maintenance to fix bugs make much sense, and is both a compensation for a great and big effort in the past but also (hopefullly!) minor (not major new features!) corrections that will be made in the future .
