    As a semi tangent, I seriously think github should have an integration for paid support or ticket bounties that are only claimable by org members. Perhaps there would be some challenges, but I think there is a need to allow:

    • Developers to get paid for all this free work they dish out.
    • A way to give a carrot to projects to fix rare bugs. Sometimes a bug affects only one person, and it will never be fixed unless they do it themselves (which is not an efficient because of all the extra setup/learning).

      Bountysource is a third-party website that already does this. It takes a cut of payments as its business model.

        Thanks for the link. Looks interesting, I may post some bounties.

      Although they say useless joke, I can’t help but wonder if it could form a business along lines of COST work. They recommended single-threaded implementations on laptops. Someone listening builds SaaS apps on GNU tools. ;)
