I would like to see a feature, so we could sponsor/add bounty to a specific issue/PR  (with services like: bountysource.com or gitcoin.co).
There are some features we would like to see in Jenkins, and we were able to add some bounty to it.

Don't people just sponsor issues as they want?

What's the ask here?

I think its a github app that tracks/escrows tickets and replies on
them saying the bounty is now X

so it would be approval to add the app?

https://app.bountysource.com/issues/106189146-jenkins-67963-add-option-to-save-bandwidth-and-resources-which-are-wasted-unnecessarily

Looks like it just imported all the publish-as-* issues, so yea i'm
not sure what would need to be approved.

It's just a single issue. It looks weird because of a migration of issues from Jira to GH issues. It seems there are just a handful of actually bountied issues on that site.

We used to have issue tracker integration of a bounty site in Jira, years ago. I don't think it had many users. IMO we should first see some traction in "manual" bounty offers before we should bless one of these sites through some sort of integration again, assuming that's what's being requested.

(Thanks for the reminder that some dude from Splunk ghosted me after I implemented a 1000 dollar bounty in 2014.)

This topic seems vaguely related to the Jenkins job board topic from a few months ago ( https://groups.google.com/g/jenkinsci-dev/c/q2F1AcFBbBE/m/6Ew7pMpDBAAJ ); as this is essentially a variant on contract work. Perhaps there's a solution covering both?

At first, the most easy route seems to fund (add bounty) onto github issues with services like:  (with services like: gitcoin.cobountysource.com , gitpay.me and etc ).
However, Jenkins repository doesn't have 'Issues' tab opened to public (only Pull Requests are open), thus we are unable to fund any 'github issue' for jenkins, as those services work onto 'issue's. That's why I asked, what are ways   (if you are not going to open 'issue's for Jenkins repo)   to put bounty on feature/issue development.

So the request isn't to enable bounty support, but to enable github
issues on the jenkinsci/jenkins repo?

It's not likely to be done any time soon, I think the general
conscensis is to have jira or github enabled, not both for a given
repo, and core is the hardest thing to change. There's so much stuff
pointed at it.

Is there not a bounty setup for jira? I swear i've seen ones for
bugzilla and jira in the past.
