My experience says that BountySource almost doesn't help.
It works if the bounty is worth someone sacrificing their free
time to do the work. For example, I'd attempt fixing the bug
if the bounty were greater than $200, but I don't know if I'd
be successful, as I've only just started working working with
the DMD source code.
In fact, you might want to propose matching bounty from the
community on this specific bug to encourage funding. For
example, make an announcement on the forum that anyone who places
a bounty on the bug in question will receive a matching
contribution from you. Maybe that might raise the bounty high
enough to get someone qualified to fix the bug. Or maybe not;
it's just an idea that occurred to me.
