Our repository currently has 91 unresolved issues, creating a significant maintenance burden. These issues fall into several categories: potentially outdated tickets, straightforward bug fixes, feature requests, and items that may not be actionable.
To address this backlog efficiently while managing limited maintainer resources, I propose implementing a community bounty program with the following parameters:
- Duration: 3 months
- Incentive: $20 gift card per resolved issue
- Goal: Reduce backlog and engage community contributors
