As a maintainer of a few open-source projects, some funded & some unfunded — this is a v interesting development. I'm excited to see how this goes and I really hope it's successful.
Some concerns that I've considered before around this model (no need to address them all):
- How has adding this incentive changed the community?
- Do you get worse quality contributions because people are doing it for the money?
- Are non-funded items neglected?
- Do people argue over whether an issue is fully closed?
- Is it more of a challenge to craft issues with a tight spec?
