My company (lbry.com) tips contributors for opening good issues, PRs, reporting security vulns, even for good blog posts or tweets (contributions are not limited to code). There’s nothing formal. We just try to be fair and generous, and let it be known that this is something we do. Over the years we’ve built up a bit of a reputation for this.

Certainly this system could be gamed or become more hassle than it’s worth. We’ve only seen that in narrow cases (e.g. during hacktoberfest). On the whole it’s been great and it feels good to do it.

I encourage you to try it and see how it goes.
