It works if the bounty is worth someone sacrificing their free 
time to do the work.  For example, I'd attempt fixing the bug if 
the bounty were greater than $200, but I don't know if I'd be 
successful, as I've only just started working working with the 
DMD source code.

It would be nice if the D Foundation would do some kind of 
creative incentivizing, such as prioritizing bugs, and matching 
bounty contributions.

But even then, you might run the risk of the work being done, but 
having the PR sit in purgatory for an indeterminate length of 
time.

I'm not at all happy with the way D is managed, but I'm also 
lacking any actionable solutions.
