Seems to me, describing the problem for the person you're going to pay is the exact same amount of work as filing a bug. They can't read your mind so you'll have to detail what you want fixed. Show how to repo the problem so they can prove they fixed it. Sounds like a bug report to me

Depends. No work is involved if problem is easily reproducible. Just need to describe the bug & environment to the "bounty hunter" and they will take care of the rest. Anything more than that would necessitate filing the actual issue yourself.
