That's because BountySource is only suited to bite-sized tasks. 
It is not capable of supporting large, complex projects.

As an analogy, BountySource may be great to get potholes filled, 
but incapable of getting a whole motorway or public transport 
network developed.

Instead of re-organising the project to suit the model of 
third-party website services, the D community needs to recognise 
that H. S. Teoh is right. The project needs an organised team of 
full time developers complete with team leadership and project 
management.
