Maybe it's low if the $100 is coming from a single person that needs it desperately. But if the fix brings big value to the community as a whole, we'll like see more people chipping in as the incentive grows.

Exactly, I'd probably contribute small amounts to multiple issues/projects in hopes that others also contribute enough to motivate someone to apply the fix.

Often I want to fix the issue myself, but something prevents me from doing so. I might not be familiar enough with the programming language, or I might not have enough time right now

Perhaps if several small payments are combined on the same bug, it could be paid for.

Bug 1 (25% pledge): XXX set a pledge of $100. $300 more needed to fix the bug.
