The funny thing is that I think this also perhaps ought to be backwards. Some bugs are serious, most are not. Considering how easy they are to write, minor "work" proposals create a relatively large amount of work for voters and officers while having little benefit. Meanwhile, good gameplay proposals make the game more interesting, are at most a few per year and really do deserve reward IMO. Admittedly, it's hard to predict in advance what proposals will be good in practice... maybe create a "Best Quarterly Proposal" competition with a high reward?
