We already have trouble with people maintaining open source projects without getting paid, now you want people to pay for the privilege to participate in free work?

It's a bond not a fee. If the maintainer feels that it's spam, they keep the bond. If they feel like it's not, they leave it.

  • That sounds like a massive headache for maintainers and opportunity for people to cry foul. That gets messy so fast.
