Being able to search by bugs with bounties is fairly interesting,
though I'm not sure what the official stance is on making a new
"official" tag.

It seems like we would want to have specific guildelines on which bugs
have a bounty, ie a bug which has a bounty listed on an official
website (such as FOSS Factory), and not just someone saying, "I'll pay
$100 to whoever fixes this!" and then having that person disappear
when the bug is fixed.

It seems like in the ideal world this is really something for
Launchpad, where it would have support for linking to bounties from
bugs/tasks, with integration for certain bounty sites, like you can do
today with upstream bug reports.

Does anyone else have any thoughts?
