We do something even better, you can place bounties on specific issues that you're willing to pay for:
The bounty thing is pretty useless to me. The amounts don't even cover the administrative overhead (working through all the hassle to actually claim it takes a lot of time), and certainly aren't enough to plan ahead on.
Without being able to reliably budget, it cannot be a replacement for any day jobs.... which means I can't quit a job to make time to do it.
Which means the only bugs I fix are the ones I would have fixed anyway, regardless of the bounty. I suspect a lot of other devs are in the same position.
