Personally, I authed via GitHub, but still got a weird flash message along the lines of "Unable to create new account" and then was redirected to the funding page (the one with amount and rewards, etc) and was able to donate via PayPal without further problems.
I wish I could give you better details, but it's Friday night and my attention had wandered before I realized what happened.
Great idea. At Bountysource.com we have a plugin for GitHub that automatically updates issues with bounty details when they exist (adds a link to the bounty in the issue body, bounty total to issue title and a special label). This needs to be installed by a project committer though. I'd love to see a Bountysource Chrome/Firefox extension, maybe we should put a bounty out for one :P
This is exactly what https://www.bountysource.com/ does. Any number of people can contribute to the bounty pool. When a developer submits a solution that gets merged into the project and the issue itself is closed, that developer collects the bounty.
