Developing Linux Applications

Has anyone enjoyed success suggesting an application to the  Linux
Foundation or other Linux funding projects and then witnessing that
application developed into a freely-offered (ro low cost) Linux program?

I'm curious how that process works.

Ex. GIMP was developed in Linux before teh Windows version but how did it
get started and fully funded?

Thank you,

Charles.
