How would one go about being a 'rogue' OSS contributor so to speak? Live off of donations, bounties, hackathons, ect?

One of my consulting gigs turned into a "fix bugs in and add features to OSS for us" job, that was good while it lasted. There are successful companies doing this for larger companies too, Igalia for example.
