May I suggest that we use this thread to discuss update of the existing bounty rules.

I think there are two things that need to be improved: cancellation of dead bounties and timing of payments

1) I suggest to put a deadline on bounties:
- 3 months initially. If no one declared to be working on anything, the bounty is closed again and the sponsors are not committed to their promised payments anymore
- Once someone declared to be working on a bounty, there needs to be some progress every 3 months to extend the deadline.
- Maximum duration needs to be set by sponsors when contributing to a bounty (12 months, 24 months etc., depending on the nature of the project)

2) Payment for the bounties should not be transfered unless the bounty is paid out. Maybe it can be reserved on the credit card of the sponsors (to ensure it actually can be paid)

I agree with Andi's points. Also, the existing ones really need to be followed -- something which, in my opinion, hasn't really been done in the past.
