I'd appreciate comments on the idea. [responding to Geremy] I'm with Georg on this. If triaging needs a monetary incentive because it is tedious work, so does committing. A lot of the abandoned issues aren't very glamorous either. Also, from the work that Mark Lawrence has been doing on the tracker in the past few weeks, it's apparent that a dedicated person can achieve a lot without pay. Due to his tracker reshuffling, many issues got closed, several bug reporters responded after years, etc. Thanks, Mark! Stefan Krah
