Bounties tend to not be enough money to be worth the time of the people with the skills to solve the problem.[1] The vibe of open source is largely a fiction when it comes to solving someone else's problem. Open source works because you solve your own problem and share your work/results, someone sees value in what you did and finds a bug / add a feature in an area of it that they care about and contribute it back and so on. Others don't have an interest in solving your problem(s) for the sake of solving them. That's called work... people have a bad habit of demanding real money for that. [1] There are exceptions especially if one is a student / just getting started. But once you have some experience, bug bounties tend to look like underpaid homework problems.
