Saw Rudderstack doing this via GitHub Sponsors as a bounty program. Wonder if the open collective community might have something to share

Hello, Open Collective team member here!
We do have quite a few open source projects running bounty programs.
Here are some examples:
* https://www.jhipster.tech/bug-bounties/ * https://www.mautic.org/blog/community/funding-mautic-communi... * https://docs.opencollective.com/help/contributing/developmen...
You can connect your GitHub Sponsors to your Open Collective and use both channels to fundraise and resource bounty payments.
More on that here: https://docs.opencollective.com/help/collectives/github-spon...

A sponsorship / bounty program is an interesting train-of-thought. It certainly 'fits' into an open source ethos and might give the company the added benefit of positive marketing.
I just looked at the Github sponsors program and AFAICT, they only offer a recurring monthly plan which is probably not what either myself or the company are looking for. I'd be curious about more options though.
