-1; I would be uninterested in such a site, for two reasons: 1. it would be a hassle to me so I wouldn't do it 2. it would encourage developers to try to undercut each other, which IMHO would ensure a shoddy product > > 2.

I think contracts could (maybe even should) include some level of support. For instance, if I write a plugin that hides security tickets (example), and the client states that they are satisfied, but deploying in the wild reveals a critical bug like search being broken, then this may demand some support. > > 4.

I whole-heartedly disagree. While the site can/should setup rules, it is not up to the site to enforce the rules. This would involve a legal team, which I for one would not be interested in paying for.
