Making more things accessible via memory safe languages allows people to more easily transition to those memory safe languages even if they have dependencies that are not themselves memory safe. Boiling the ocean is impractical and memory safety is not all or nothing, so we're interested in encouraging people to find ways to migrate larger and larger pieces.

I hope for your sake that you do, but just to be clear I don't think anyone in this thread is too concerned about whether you pay out the bounty or not. You can be as loose or as tight with your money as you'd like :)

The concern is from the point of view of the maintainers who will receive spam PRs / patches. Even if you don't pay out for that contribution, it will not unsend the PR / patch in the maintainer's mailbox.
