Where to post bounties for bugfixes?
I used to use BountySource for this, but apparently they have not been honoring withdrawal requests and maybe are insolvent now. Gitcoin used to offer crypto bounties on bugfixes, but apparently they no longer do that and now only do "hackathons". I'm aware of many "bounty" sites, but they all are focused on finding security flaws not fixing specific issues.

It sounds like bountysource, but bountysource seems to have stopped paying bounties. Found these two links on the Wikipedia Article for Bountysource:

How to earn money on FOSS
Also obvious, and also only one way - sites where repository maintainers ask for feature implementation with a reward. There is no obvious winner here, both sites are good. - BountySource — payments in USD, seemingly more requests - Tip4Commit — payments in BTC, smaller amount of requests but payments are quite bigger.

Support open source that you use by paying the maintainers to talk to your team
There were a few companies that tried doing that, if I recall correctly https://www.bountysource.com/ was one of them (seems to still be active). I've been following the area and also tried to run a business in the area. My experience is that while there's some demand, it's either really small, or extremely difficult to grow.

What are some of the reasons some open source software adds new features before fixing known bugs?
I've pledged for fixes before. I think this is the service I used. https://www.bountysource.com/

Please, keep in mind there is ZERO FUNDING for my projects.
There is a website called BountySource that I think is meant to do what you describe. I've never actually used it though.
