I see. Guess that makes it open source strictly speaking, but it is not
the 100% openness I would expect from an open source project. While I
understand that people have to earn a living, this bounty policy makes
things difficult for people who want to evaluate before deciding.
Now if you want to bitch about it go on nobody can stop you.
If you had the knowledge that "open source strictly speaking and 100%
openness" would not be there but you would have it in your test
environment.
So either go and learn how to do stuff or just wait as anybody else
when it is shipped/ready for you.

I don't feel like bitching about it, and I think I wasn't, but I was not
aware of this bounty system and just shared my thoughts about it.
Waiting is mostly not the best option when things need to get done.
Never mind, I wrote rule sets on text based systems before and I don't
feel unhappy to do it again.
