Who is "they"? Project maintainers? Project users? You?

> The problem is the money.

So this is a project that didn't require any funding for decades in order to exist. Explain exactly why you believe money is an issue.

I misunderstood and thought this was a google sponsored project and not an open bug bounty.

Even still, you're responding in a thread about someone who is trying to do legitimate work on this project and google is not honoring the bug bounty system.

A problem google could fix if they just assigned someone to manually review the case, it would take like 15 minutes.
