I almost want to turn this into unpaid work, except that it is paid work. Let's break it down, imagine we're dealing with a condominium management system. So all the people living in the building participate, everyone needs to pay the building maintenance costs, and usually this work falls to the superintendent. And often, the superintendent's voice carries more weight, which can cause problems. What I'm proposing is to use an open tool (whether it already exists or not) to help all the residents (whether it's one vote per apartment, or a fractional vote per resident of an apartment) and the system can help organize not just the expenses, but also facilitate discussions and the like. And of course, all of this would be self-hosted directly in the building (even an old laptop can serve a small system for 100 users without a flinch). Do you realize that as a resident, even though there's a cost to pay for this, you end up getting the money back in the end? And you know exactly where every single penny was spent? So this is paid labor.
