Perhaps people need some sort of urgency motivator, like higher paying
(initially), but time limited bounties ;)
Ie, every day the bounty is reduced by 5% or something...
If it's not there tomorrow, then you'd better get it done today!

Humans are proven to work most effectively when threatened with a strong
sense of urgency (it's why the gamedev industry always seems to be in a
perpetual state of 'crunching' :/)...
