Agreed on all 3 points here, thanks for sharing your thoughts, super helpful
Following your feedback, perhaps community bounties should be by default only shared with maintainers, and then the maintainers can choose whether to complete them themselves [1], or make them public, or disregard
This approach would prevent situations like the above and hopefully also helps with FOSS sustainability
