I joined the project and made the same suggestion. Brad likes calling it Bribe so we are going with. It may make it more interesting and get more attention this way.
The bottom line is we want this to be a system that helps people. I've been at the mercy of open source projects which don't stay on top of known bugs which I am not always able to fix myself. I personally would love to task someone who is better prepared to take on the work to take on the job and I can focus on what I do best.

I like the idea. But bribe has a negative feel to it. Why not bounty?
Because that's already been done! https://www.bountysource.com/

I think it's negative in a playful way, and as a result, positive.
