bug#51645: Proposal: Integrate a method for bug bounties

Bug bounties are a great and ethical source of income for FLOSS projects that are a solution:

+ for users who use GNU Guix, but doesn't know GNU Guile to e.g. get their wanted packages packaged.

+ for developers who work on multiple projects and prefer to get an issue outsourced to third party to better utilize their resources.

+ for community by enabling the community to reward the developers for finishing an issue that they care about.

Proposing GNU Guix to integrate bug bounties and set a flexible fee for each transaction (ideally using monero) to help support the project while being a safeguard to resolve conflicts.

Hi,

Thanks for the idea.  Usually, such are discussed on the mailing list
guix-devel@gnu.org and not in the Bug Tracker.

With your proposal, I miss if the bounty (money for rewarding) is going
to the project itself or to the person who implements the request.
