@rofltov You're right that the technology already exists (e.g., garage, paypal). But it's not integrated, nor is it accepted as a community norm.

The point is to pick a model that's likely to be attractive to both users and developers, to support it with user interfaces *and* infrastructure, and to promote it.

For the bounties, those are probably best when
- users can publicly collaborate on a describing the functionality they'd like to see, and on growing the pot of money they'd be willing to spend
- interested developers could respond by refining feature proposals and bidding on the work
