I also don't think that a monetary bounty system is a good idea. Besides
a personal dislike for it there are strong indications that it simply
doesn't work (I believe Paul can tell a tale about the huge gap between
bounty and actual work hours).
There are lots of other things that developers need and users can offer.
The first thing obviously being to follow through with the bug they posted,
to test and work with the devs to resolve it. Other things that came to
my mind are documentation, video tutorials, graphics, whatever other
skills the user possesses and the developer needs, something can be done
by anyone.
