But it seems like if you are dealing with a community of programmers, that they would be happy to see someone get paid for their work. I would imagine it will take you at least 5 or 6 hours of work to do what it is that I am asking. And it's not the sort thing a normal person can do (I personally got a C in my C++ software engineering course).

That's skilled labor. You deserve to be paid.
I'll have to look at the Holy Site Rules to be sure, but I'm thinking it's against the rules for an author to solicit a payment for an existing addon (definitely true, according to Blizzard's rules)but not against the rules for someone to offer to pay an author for their work. Hence the donations tab on many of the addons available on WoWI.

As for the authors deserving to be paid, you won't find many arguments against that here.
