The first issue that comes to mind (for me) is "who cuts the checks"?
IOW, who is going to be the person responsible for the money itself, and
who has oversight to ensure money's being properly managed and not
siphoned off?

Who decides how much gets paid for a bug bounty?

What do we do if we have no funds? Do we want bug fixes to become a paid
thing, and wouldn't that be a disinsentive if we were to have no money?

What if upstream introduces bugs so they can then get paid to fix them?
