There is at least one bug bounty available for all open source projects. I run a bug bounty where if you tell me about the high level details of a bug and it sounds interesting, I will buy you a drink (up to $20, so that's the bounty)

Monopoly rings hollow when it comes to a community open source project. Monopolies are bad when they stifle progress, but rust's written under a free software license. At any point, anyone can take the project and fork it into a new on
