Looking at it I think it needs to be as complicated as your questions imply.
You don't need to set a target amount. People just post the incentive for
what it is worth to them. If no one fixes then no one does.
Any developer (even non core committers, though that's unlikely) can then
make a patch for it. Then the money can go to them.
I guess maybe there needs to be one account for the project?
I'm inclined to just leave it there, and then figure out the details if
anyone actually posts an amount that would motivate anyone on the project
to do anything. If they do then we found a new way to get some money in,
and that's great. And we can sort out more details. If no one uses it
that's fine too.
But the company will hold the money in escrow until we set up an account,
so there's no downside I see.
