Bug reports are other people doing work for me. I’m fine with that. These are free interactions between people. If you want to charge for bug reports then you can put that in your repo text and just auto-close any issue from non-approved authors.
If you want to bountysource a solution do that. If you don’t want to fix an issue don’t.
- samus 2y agoFiling a bug report is only half of the work. The bug then has to be reproduced, fixed, tested, documented, and rolled out. Sometimes with a deadline. If that sounds fun to you, I really cannot argue against it. Usually, that is part of a support contract, and therefore hobbyist open source developers basically supply free labor to for-profit companies.
