This actually seems like it would be terrible. Contributions should be evaluated on merit, not on bribes.

The overall concept seemed good at first but you raised some real concerns.

Sometimes fine PR'S just sit without review or merging because the maintainer is busy with their life. If some money rewards them to look, great.

How so? If anything, it would be cool to have issue bounties to put your money to get the stuff you want solved.

For the same reason lobbying is harmful. The many should be served, not just those who can pay.
