Yeah, I'm sure they want to clear these off the books, but I think the "right" way they could've handled this is to take their cut, and pay out the bounty to the maintainer of the project. I have to imagine the amount of money they're looking at collecting here in the >2 year old bucket is large enough that they're willing to take the PR hit. There's probably a good chunk of change there held by now-inactive users who they're hoping won't actually do anything about the change like redirecting their funds. It's also really sad because the open source project I contribute to is six years old, and had a couple year quiet period, but is often tackling multi-year old issues now. In our case, we don't use BountySource, but had we, we'd be looking at losing funding that we were still very much intending to earn.
