If someone develops a good plugin or other kind of extension for mastodon that makes this possible, maybe the people that want to use it, can.
I don´t personally think it´s a good idea, nor do i think it´'s non-invasive, but why not experiment.
Asking mastodon´s main developer will probably not lead to anything, cause it would result in backlash from too many of it´s users. At least that would be my guess. But keeping it a third party thing, that integrates easily with the existing mastodon code base, will offer a good proof of concept.
Implementing anything involving payments is dangerous, doing it this way could offer a playground for server admins to mess around with. The ones who are willing to testdrive it could do so. In the meantime, bugs can be ironed out. Who knows, if it´'s a success, maybe then it would be a good idea to approach the developers and have something to pitch :)
