Since 2004, Mozilla has been offering financial incentives for identifying and fixing security vulnerabilities in its software, demonstrating a commitment to improving open-source security through bounties.
"I think a great addition to sponsors would be the ability to attach a monetary value (or 'bounty') to a GitHub issue. This could incentivize developers to address the issue and perhaps attract new maintainers to an open source project." This highlights how financial incentives can attract talent and sustain open source efforts
