Bug bounties are cash rewards for finding bugs. Has anyone done a crowdsourced bounty for adding a feature to linux? E.g., driver support for a certain peripheral. If enough people want it, and drop $10 each, seems like it would quickly become worth it for someone to code a fix.

The problem is bounties are not as viable now with AI as someone will slop something out just to try and collect the money and just makes a project a target for Spam.
