Those numbers are based on discussions with Paolo at the Lisbon
hackfest - the idea being to clear away all the papercuts / low
hanging fruit first. As the complexity increases, the bounties will no
doubt go up. If I recall, the idea was also to provide a small
incentive for students / new developers to get involved with the
project. Paolo can comment further. So yes 15EUR won't cover bug #9999
'please rewrite all providers in .net' but I don't think that was the
intention.
