Bounty for auto table layout?

[Jens Bannmann]

Hi there,

I'm really interested in having auto table layout implemented in FOP. 
Bug 40271 has a patch, but for nearly eight months there was no 
activity. So I thought that perhaps a fund/bounty might motivate a 
developer to implement this feature. As I use FOP only for 
non-commercial purposes, my own share wouldn't be enourmous (surely 
below 100 USD), but I hope others would join the effort to make the sum 
interesting.

What do you all think? Is this a viable option, i.e. would it be 
accepted within the project? Was something like that done before at FOP 
or Apache in general? How could this be organized?

Best regards,
Jens
