Multiple researchers using the same tools to find the same bugs are creating ‘unnecessary pain and pointless work’

    I’ll say it till I turn blue in the face. Unless you’ve been verified as a trusted source, there should be a small donation required for submitting any type of “help” to a project. (pull requests, bug bounties, etc.) Especially since it always requires humans take time out of their day to review the issues and code changes.

    If you love the project, donate to it. If you’re a trusted source or can’t afford even a small donation, get verified.

      that entirely depends on the size of the project though, i’m not gonna demand donations for people to contribute to my fucking modpack with 1000 downloads…

        I mean, thats exactly my point. If the donation money wouldn’t pull you out of a hole that has you feeling like you’re stuck in an inescapable nightmare, this option isn’t for you.
