I'll happily fund one person full-time to work on that, but you'll have to convince the primary author to go for it :-)

Hello! Rust core and community team member here. If you (or anyone else) are serious about trying to fund development of Tokio, please send us an email at community-team@rust-lang.org and we would happily connect you to people working on the project.
