Instead, I am seeking, where I can actually ask the question, to get

sense of what Debian developers charge for their services.
Neither the Links, or elinks developers list are places to which I
have
access.
If being financially compensated, what does such work tend to cost?
is there a development rate card like in other industries?
This actually has a kind of answer. The long-term-support
project for Debian is run by the Freexian consultancy, which
accepts donations and payments and pays developers.
One of the things that you can buy is ongoing support for a
package. They have an estimation page here:
https://www.freexian.com/lts/extended/docs/cost-estimation/
and the developers are paid at a rate of 85 Euros per hour,
which I think is pretty much in line with mid-to-senior software
developers.
