#MauticProductTeam Steering Mautic's Development: The Product Team,Pioneering Release Cycles and Roadmaps
Replacing BountySource
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.

@escopecz I thought that too, but it requires more complication than was worth my time exploring to pull the data from the API for a phase 1 implementation. I thought about scraping it from the list of transactions and ChatGPT told me in no uncertain terms that was not the best route to go down 😅, so I guess we'd have to somehow query the Open Collective API, search for transactions with the Issue ID in the reference, and then sum them up, maybe? Or post a comment when that happened (maybe n8n could help there). I was also thinking to add it to the title eg. [$500] as well.
