@fullmetalScience I like the idea of bounties as a user, and can think of a few things I would be willing to chip in on.. But I bet it becomes a nightmare if multiple developers helped towards a goal, and in a way that is always going to be the case. "standing on the shoulders of giants"
There are actually mentions of people having had partial success, but your point makes sense regardless. I updated the description to clarify that interested developers have to express their intent beforehand. This way it should be easier to track who actually made it happen.
