offered a bounty of $100
Did you collect the $100?
Knowing how big a problem is, is work too. $100 was probably way too small a price for the amount of work you did.
I think enhancing our ability to deal with some of these things in a structured environment will allow us to follow procedures where bugs are closer (although never perfect) to their cost and more users can be brought to bare on an item.
5,000 people can raise $100k pretty easily with $25 each and that's the sort of money that can move mountains of bugs. We have way more than 5k users, but we get nothing because we ask for nothing, or rather we extend no invite, no channel and no opportunity.
Improving our reach with users beyond the edge of the mailing list and launchpad project will help there.
The other point which I did agree with from our previous discussion was that leadership is probably more important at this time. I very much agree. Our positive attitude for this release is awesome to see and our commit and comment rate is way up. That's going to help us make the environment fertile for whatever we end up doing with regards to funding.
