Re: Formation of Gnome-user-foundation

So long as maintainers approve bounties in advance, I see no problem

This whole business with guarantees though is a very bad idea.  We can't
guarantee that a bounty will actually result in a feature being
implemented.  The bounty needs to be a donation to the foundation.
