Like @jernejpregelj pointed out there's multiple facets to this.

There's the legal part (equity, revenue/profit sharing, etc) and the logistical/community part.

As for the legal part I recommend talking to financial advisor. I recommend implementing something like this incrementally. Start at a place where you own all equity, but make a public promise to work towards the 51-49 split. Be open, share your numbers, etc. And formalise things over time as profits increase along with community participation. You don't really know what things should look like, until you're actually experiencing the model.

As for the logistical part, I don't think there's a product for this as it's a pretty unique approach. But again, I think you can just start out incrementally. Since it's a developer-oriented product I think it's fine to start with a GitHub Repo and clever usage of issues and labels. As you run into limitations you can start looking for other solutions, or building your own. But like the legal aspect, you probably don't really know what you'll need until you're in the thick of it. So just start simple and incrementally improve on things.
