We do something even better, you can place bounties on
specific issues that you're willing to pay for:
The bounty thing is pretty useless to me. The amounts don't
even cover the administrative overhead (working through all the
hassle to actually claim it takes a lot of time), and certainly
aren't enough to plan ahead on.
Without being able to reliably budget, it cannot be a
replacement for any day jobs.... which means I can't quit a job
to make time to do it.
Which means the only bugs I fix are the ones I would have fixed
anyway, regardless of the bounty. I suspect a lot of other devs
are in the same position.
Yes, I have roughly the same critics against the bountysource. If
bounties don't cover actual development costs, they don't
motivate.
