I have backed about 25 Kickstarter campaigns.... have received the results of 5. One Scumbag took $65K and didn't deliver to a few hundred people...and many of the projects I backed are delayed...
Serious Caveat Emptor before backing a project...
FWIW, once Kickstarter releases the funds... they are done except to take glory. If a project goes off the rails... they wont do anything for backers.... they really should adjust the model to hold funds in escrow.. and release funds as backers are satisfied.... I know... never going to happen... ..
Try and email a "real person" at Kickstarter.... they only have a form on the website.. and offer no direct access....

I get the sentiment but it's not even remotely practical.
My industry could not function without milestone payments and the only thing consistent about administering them is that not one is ever like another.
The backers by and large won't be qualified to make the correct call and Kickstarter can't possibly add enough staff with relevant knowledge and experience to deal with the quantity of myriad projects that get funded especially when a good number of projects are things or concepts that no one has even seen before.
