If someone built a github plugin that allowed me to attach/negotiate sat bounties to issues, I'd use it in a heartbeat ... This was the other thing I was considering building around the time I built SN.
I see GitPay and Bountysource, .. both use fiat only. And require doxing yourself (and being sent a 1099, for those in the U.S.).
I can see that being a significant factor that holds back the use of bitcoin for freelancing, at least at the level where the employer hires/contracts with the freelancer directly, due to reporting and withholding requirements for the employer. And that's not just in the U.S. where that is a problem.

Could be interesting to have a tab in jobs for bounties and start having a work backlog there?

We've discussed adding more task oriented features to jobs. I imagine we'll eventually have them kind of like 'link or discussion', it'll be 'job or task'.
