This exists as third party services. IIRC it’s exactly how bountysource used to work.
I think the model never took off enough to be attractive to github to implement on their end. But yea I think it would be cool and more popular if integrated directly in it.
- TingPing 4y agoUsers don't understand costs, especially for certain countries. The biggest bounty I got was like $300 for a solid week of work. Most were a few bucks. It was a waste of everyone's time and money, except BountySource.
- jefftk 4y agoIt could maybe have worked if a large number of users all wanted the same new feature, and pooled their willingness into a relatively large bounty? Or if it were common for maintainers to be nearly on the fence about implementing something, so that a relatively small bounty might push them over. But yes, it clearly didn't work.
