Add ability to crowdfunding donations for proposals authors #396

Open MurzNN opened 5 years ago

MurzNN commented 5 years ago

At now many users provide interesting proposals to https://matrix.org/docs/spec/proposals list, and sometimes other people want to speed-up developing of some proposal, needed for him. At now he can only give "+1" reaction on github or spam in comments. Will be good to add ability for give donations directly to needed proposal, that will get his author after implementing it.

Here https://www.documentfoundation.org/foundation/grant-request/ is example of same feature in Libreoffice proposals, and bountysource.com is good service for implement this.

Bounty source could well work for this. People have done so in the past for issues, so why should proposals be done differently.

Obviously it's a bit trickier with what counts as a complete proposal given how much they evolve over time, and that may not reflect the donors wishes. Regardless, a good idea
