BountySource have turned evil – alternatives?

Re:BountySource have turned evil – alternatives? by buovjaga on Wednesday June 17, 2020 @10:23AM (#23551744)

All the alternatives to BountySource seem to be coupled with GitHub, which is rather non-optimal:

https://gitpay.me/

https://issuehunt.io/

https://gitcoin.co/landing

https://tip4commit.com/

Is there any actively-maintained FOSS bounty platform without the GitHub dependency?

hi from gitcoin. (https://gitcoin.co/mission)

our bounties platform is coupled to github, but grants/tips/other tools are not.

we plan to decouple from github eventually. until then, the workaround is to post a gitlab repo into a github issue and bounty that.

any other questions lmk

Are you planning to support Bugzilla instances?

Not a bounty platform, but https://polyglot.network/ is a a FOSS development agency that might be more comfortable to deal with for CTOs. They work with both in-house developers and freelancers who work on FOSS.

Gitpay also appears to work with Bitbucket.

Many of us prefer using open source software to develop our open source software. GitHub is not open source.

In addition to the reasons GitHub is "bad", people may just prefer to use other hosting platforms.

Possibly nothing. However, we don't want a dependency on one hosting provider. As we see with bounty source, any system can turn.

Seems like it is referring to the USA's ICE:
