Offering bounties for small bugs such as "cosmetic" errors is great. When browsing open source code, I often refrain from reporting small mistakes (e.g. spelling errors), fearing it would "waste" the time of the maintainers for "superficial" problems... I also don't want them to think I'm criticizing their code / spelling. I think even small errors are important (broken window theory). By explicitly encouraging such reports, you encourage people to read your code, but you also let people know it's okay to "bother" you with these small errors.
