Yes, though I'm more leaning towards crowdfunding and bigger goals. The problem with \
bounties is that development is expensive, really expensive and unless you're working \
on bigger projects that take more time it's very hard to estimate what a single \
feature will take. 

I'm also not sure it's the way to go for another reason: a project like Krita isn't \
an aggregation of features and bugfixes, it needs continuity of development otherwise \
it'll come apart at the seams. What a subscription to the development fund gives is \
that continuity. Regular new versions with bug fixes, features and steady progress \
towards the project vision.
