We envision that many times the bugs will be fixed by someone who has not already been working on that Open Source project. We also do not expect any projects which are intentionally buggy to become popular enough to make a difference.
Bribe.io will also include work on enhancements to an existing Open Source project.
An open-source environment is really the only place this kind of motivation could work. As you say, if the project is intentionally buggy, it's unlikely to be used.

Love the idea!
