If you would be able to earn a good hourly salary for the issues, could you 'make' time for it?
We believe that merging a PR is work and should be rewarded with around 20% to ensure a good code quality. It's weird to hear you say that you want all that money to go to the contributor. I'll keep that in mind and will ask more people about their opinion. Thanks for the input.
For me it is a side project (got payed from my company to create it), for more than 1 year i could do some support, but since than i work fulltime on other projects.
In my (less) free time i watch for issues and PR, but if somebody could be payed for doing this, i had no problem with that.
For famous projects it is not a huge problem to find free maintainer and contributors, but for smaller projects it is a problem. I did not know if paying a contributor would help, but i think it's worth a try.
I can imagine, that there are some developers that could work fulltime for many small projects and earn money.
