> They are the gatekeepers to their own projects contributions

The point that bountysource is making is that the contributions don't always necessarily go to the project. There are individual drive-by bounty hunters who are unaffiliated with the project. I don't see a reason to discourage that, and I don't see a reason to pressure the project into accepting these drive-by bounty hunters either. I don't think anyone else is, either.
