BountySource[2] lets you do basically exactly that.
My experience says that BountySource almost doesn't help.

It works if the bounty is worth someone sacrificing their free time to do the work. For example, I'd attempt fixing the bug if the bounty were greater than $200, but I don't know if I'd be successful, as I've only just started working working with the DMD source code.

It would be nice if the D Foundation would do some kind of creative incentivizing, such as prioritizing bugs, and matching bounty contributions.

But even then, you might run the risk of the work being done, but having the PR sit in purgatory for an indeterminate length of time.

I'm not at all happy with the way D is managed, but I'm also lacking any actionable solutions.
