I was thinking about the whole process. I could make a freelance software guild, but no one would want to join that (I wouldn't due to sketchiness/no-pay) ,maybe I could have a low retainer for developers to be on standby (like lawyers) and save a certain number of hours per month for when work floods in. Retaining developers would be a bit of fun -like a club of sorts or a guild. I'm not sure what the rates or sustaining would go (I'll pay you X money to do nothing until I need you). it would certainly build communication to an extent if it was a 2 week check in.

I think the prevailing advice in this thread will be to worry about finding the work, and only worry about finding developers once the "work floods in".
