How about providing bounties instead of paid contributors?

Mutex-ing a bug/bounty adds a bit of order to the proceedings and leads to a very interesting CS problem :slight_smile: . So we have 1 core, and we want to assign it the process which will release it at the earliest (defined as solving the bug). You want to come up with โ€œniceโ€ value for each of the bounty-hunters to resolve contention ?
