    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:

    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 β€” payments in USD, seemingly more requests - Tip4Commit β€” payments in BTC, smaller amount of requests but payments are quite bigger.
