Glad you think it's a cool idea! A few things: The product doesn't have an "owner", and nobody has an earning package. So a user could create large bounties and award them to him/her self (thus increasing his/her share of the profits), but that would make the community less motivated to work with that person, and anyone in the community can weigh in on what a bounty should be worth, so the community is able to protect itself from bad behavior. Also, most products end up with multiple core team members, so typically the additional authority of the Core Team doesn't lie on one person.
