there isn't any reason why bug bounties have to all go to the mothership. you're (for lack of a better word) kickstarting a bug fix. it's a bounty. it should go to the person who delivers the fix, the bounty hunter.
Um, no. You'd be giving money to someone in the hopes that enough others will also do the same to reach the goal required to attempt to fix the bug. But you're charged whether or not the goal is reached. And whether or not the bug actually gets fixed. It's a bad fit, and the only way I'd ever put money into this kind of scheme is once enough other fools have done so and the goal has been met *and* I think there's a reasonable chance the bug might get fixed in a timely manner.
Look at the number of folks who complain about not having feature x from the LC Kickstarter campaign, where there was explicitly no guarantee of features actually appearing. Now extrapolate to a campaign where you end up paying into a scheme whether or not anything actually materializes.
