Trust is built, not granted. To earn trust it takes PoW, like many things, work for free until you build a product/reputation strong enough to get paid. I don’t think it’s more than that.

That's fine, but then they should stop whining that other devs aren't going after the bounties.
Set the bounties up, so that it's attractive to a wider number of devs, or call your bros. 🤷♀️
I didn’t grasp the full context at first and was just speaking to my own experience with bounties, but yes, there would be a benefit to building a talent pipeline of developers (and non developers) and in that case it has to be attractive and incentivized 😁
As an example of how this can be done well, I believe nostr:npub1yx6pjypd4r7qh2gysjhvjd9l2km6hnm4amdnjyjw3467fy05rf0qfp7kza set up a system for "reserving" bounties related to Corny Chats. So devs can apply, get locked in, and get paid upon completion. Those bounties were also clearly defined and dealt with bite-sized bits of functionality (like adding support for a certain NIP to the Corny Chats app). That's a pretty good way of soliciting open-source contributions.
That was nostr:npub1ssjaq3spxe6j5vhh0cc3g44wj75fvp8d3j44nwk7dapzg9t4rm4savvhr4 who had the nostrbounties.com website. Its no longer up, but the project was made open source (MIT License) last year with source available at github.com/diamsa/nostrbounties
The bounties I post now are either to project github issues or to individuals.
Of course, it's no longer up. 😂 Like everything.
