The Log4j bug exposes a bigger issue: Open-source funding
I recently started a list of OSS projects that actually pay (some of them pretty well) for contributions: https://github.com/kunovsky/paid-open-source-projects. The list is pretty short right but, but as an industry, I'd love to see a shift towards compensating people fairly for their time. Yes, we all love and support open source but when it comes down to brass tacks we should compensate developers (who are choosing to spend their free time contributing instead of doing other work) for their efforts. It doesn't have to be much, but the more opportunities we create like this the more incentive there is for developers to put in the work. To be clear, I'm not saying that every OSS project should pay. But do what you can if and when it makes sense.

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.

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.
