Comment on Ask HN: Would issue “bounties” make contributing to open source more appealing?

Comments

I've seen this a few ways, tried similar with some of our FOSS bits. Was easier to just get a few via 1099s to close many bugs than to manage dozens of one-offs.

How did you convey that you would pay for them? For example I was thinking of adding a tag here (https://github.com/pyroscope-io/pyroscope/issues) similar to "good first issue" that says something like "bounty"

We had a page on our site. it linked to bugs and bugs linked to it. bugs indicated their bounty. lots of overhead.
