How does this bit work. If the PR has been submitted, how will others benefit 
unless a build is released? Who would be responsible for that considering it’s 
complexity. 

Another thought is, who do you suppose has the necessary skills to do this when 
it comes to coding in c++? Can we get a show of hands? (My hand is down for 
this one)

If it’s coded in LCS, how will you submit the PR considering LC do not accept 
binaries. You have to write out all of your script changes long form for them 
to review in person by hand/eye. 

Forgive me for saying but, except the bounty idea, wasn’t this the whole point 
of it going open source - so that the community would fix bugs themselves!!!!! 
Paid incentives may still not be enough seeing as the majority are LC coders 
and not C++. You need people with the necessary skills. 

Otherwise, a nice idea. 

Also, If two happen to work on the fix and submit pretty close to each other 
(rare, I know) that may raise an interesting situation regarding the split of 
bounty. But I’m sure would be sorted amicably.
