I don't think anyone is proposing that new developers get push access or bypass review by existing developers. We're all in agreement that it would not be acceptable. Matthew's question of how to avoid long review delays doesn't have a great answer; I can't think of anything beyond keeping the

If the USA would consider paying anonymous people money laundering then I'd agree that we shouldn't risk this. Nevertheless you raised an interesting issue which will also be relevant to non-anonymous employees, I'd like to say something about it: On Monday, May 08, 2017 04:57:10 PM Ian wrote:

That is a general disadvantage to bounties, yes, but we are not in a situation where there are known-qualified developers with time available to be paid hourly for these things. Original Message Subject: Re: DDG Tasks Bug Bounty Proposal Local Time: May 6, 2017 3:46 PM UTC

Interesting idea, but isn't there a danger of duplicated effort with this approach? It would be annoying to put a bunch of work into something only to be beaten to the finish line by someone else. From a developer's perspective that would add to the risk and may be a disincentive to try. On
