Hi. FWIW, I'd be ok with trac-hacks.org supporting a bounty-based development model in addition to what is there already. We could support such development by providing resources as we do already for "traditional" community-developed hacks, as long as the resulting code will be released under a recognized FOSS license.
Personally, I'm not in favour of any bidding-style models. Bounties are fine, as they allow a group of people to throw their money in a pot if they are interested in a similar piece of software. I think that the Trac community should not even consider trying to involve itself into things like providing legal services for the contracting parties, escrow services or mediation - this is far beyond our scope. If such services are deemed to be required , there are other platforms which provide them (but certainly not for free). However, these are just my 2 cents.
