[ROADMAP] Bounties 💸

Stories

As a player, I want to have an incentive to contribute to a specific repository other than xp / points / merch

As a maintainer, I want to attract new contributors to our repository as well as retain senior engineers who know the code base.

Tasks

• Check out the bounty system Bailey built for [muddle.co](https://github.com/muddleco/muddle)
• Take what we need to make the following possible
  • Automatically pay out bounties to contributors if a PR gets merged that has a bounty attached to it
  • Allow /bounty 50 to add a bounty to an issue or PR
  • Allow /tip 10 to immediately payout a bounty to a contributor who is assigned to an issue or opened a PR. If they are registered with oss.gg, send them instructions to cash in their tip. If they are not registered, store the github user name along with the tip and post a comment for the player to sign up. Once the user signed up, check if there is an open bounty for this user and then send it to their email
• Allow maintainers to set a max limit for bounties and tips in [oss.gg](http://oss.gg) which are paid out immediately. All tips and bounties which are higher need approval first. Allow maintainers to add an email for approvals. Send an email with a notice that a bounty exceeding the auto bounties needs approval (UI following)
• Make sure that the ability to set up bounties and tip is restricted to the organisation members of the repository
