These seem to be bounties for finding critical (mostly security-related) bugs
rather than fixing them - hard to see large tech companies outsourcing their
security fixes.
We already have an established system for reporting bugs, and LC are actively
attending to fixing some/most of them. The problem (real or perceived) seems to
be that either some bugs are left unattended for too long, or appear to attract
such a low priority that they are effectively abandoned. Maybe a bounty system
could work if LC were prepared to tag bugs all bugs with a priority level, with
each level having an estimated fix time associated with it. This would provide
us (as potential clients of bounty hunters) with a semi-objective indication of
whether it was worth stumping up some cash for a quick fix or simply waiting
for LC to act. More work for LC though, tagging bugs and updating those tags
fairly regularly.

Bug bounties are pretty common.
