#MauticProductTeam Steering Mautic's Development: The Product Team,Pioneering Release Cycles and Roadmaps
Recently we have heard that Bountysource has become insolvent and since early 2023 has not been paying out bounties to developers who fix issues.
This impacted us recently because a bounty was placed on an issue and a developer fixed it but was not able to claim the money back.
While we don't hugely promote the opportunity for bounties - mainly because the bountysource extension for Github has been broken for some time - I feel like it's important that we do have a system available if people want to back an issue being fixed with money.
I'm starting this debate as an opportunity for us to explore different systems that are available, and pick one that we decide to use for Mautic going forward.
Let's say we can have this debate over a period of two weeks and then at the end of that, make a decision?
The debate was closed on 21/12/2023 11:30 with these conclusions:
We have implemented a system which uses our existing Open Collective infrastructure.

Conversation with Galvani
I wanted to use the feature to offer money for boring work last week. I would not have done it knowing the fifth goes to someone else.
That's good to know @galvani - I feel like using Open Collective would be better, but it might be a bit more clunky - for example we would just have a pot of money into which folks would contribute and then have to post on the issue how much is available - there wouldn't be any automation. Do you think that would be sufficient? It's a simple enough solution which we could get up and running pretty fast.
