Maybe they could do a model where the mod is free but updates or builds for the first 3 months are behind a totally optional donation fence.

...you are aware of the perverse incentives that kind of system would bring right?
"Here's alpha 0.01. It gets to the title screen."
"If you donate here's version 2.00 to download with experimental (wink) features such as actual playthrough complete testing."

Sure if the code is open you can just build it yourself. And if 2.00 builds go open in a time window it's just time gating.
But your right the incentives are to keeping pumping out a parade of changes to make donating seem worthwhile to get early access
