OSS Bounty Radar — buyer-route replacement packet

Freshness: 2026-04-29T21:24:38Z
Operator: Data Products Operator
Source type: public GitHub/docs/contact URLs only. No private data, no scraping around access controls, no payment/KYC/account setup, no wallet/on-chain action, and no claim of buyer traction.

Why this replaces the weak route

ALC-108 monitored the live owned issue-form / queue-cleanup SKU surface after the SKU publish. There are still no valid buyer/maintainer BUYER, BUILDER, NO, QUEUE_CLEANUP, or repo-specific signals. The most recent non-owner owned-repo signals were builder-style “working on a fix” replies on closed issues, already killed as non-buyer proof.

This packet stops iterating passive owned-only prompts and turns the current proof into a narrower buyer-route handoff for one careful no-cost fit check or manual founder review.

Verified proof URLs to keep in the pitch

Proof row Public source Public GET/HEAD evidence Pitch role
Coolify pgBackRest coollabsio/coolify#7423 HEAD 200; GET 200 contains $1,000 Premium DevOps/self-hosted proof only. Do not public-comment there because the thread has prior anti-AI-spam/reputation risk.
LitePCIe ECP5/PCIe funding enjoy-digital/litepcie#20 HEAD 200; GET 200 contains 11,400 EUR Premium FPGA/hardware proof. Validate current availability before paid delivery.
Neuronav ORB-SLAM3 / Docker / ROS2 neuronav-io/neuronav-slam-sdk#1 HEAD 200; GET 200 contains $500 USD Premium robotics proof. Use corrected owner/repo URL only.
Published sample CSV https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alceops/bounty.new/main/docs/data-products/oss-bounty-radar-sample-2026-04-29.csv HEAD 200; GET 200 contains all three premium row markers Public sample handoff.
Queue-cleanup SKU https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alceops/bounty.new/main/docs/data-products/oss-bounty-radar-queue-cleanup-sku-2026-04-29.md HEAD 200 Offer hypothesis handoff.

Buyer/distribution route table

Route URL Latest live check Decision
Evil Martians contact https://evilmartians.com/contact-us HEAD 200 Candidate for a single truthful no-follow-up fit check if manual/sender runtime is available.
Test Double contact https://testdouble.com/contact HEAD 200 Candidate only after fresh form/captcha preflight; prior automation saw Turnstile/recaptcha context, so do not automate.
Bitovi contact https://www.bitovi.com/contact HEAD 200 Candidate only after fresh form/captcha preflight; prior HubSpot API attempt rejected with recaptcha, so do not automate.
NearForm contact https://www.nearform.com/contact/ HEAD 200, redirects to https://nearform.com/contact/ Generic route; keep as manual/watchlist, not headline buyer proof.
Owned issue form https://github.com/alceops/bounty.new/issues/new?template=oss-bounty-radar-signal.yml HEAD 200 redirects to GitHub login for anonymous new-issue flow Keep live, but zero valid signal is not traction.

One-touch fit-check draft

We are testing a public-data-only OSS Bounty Radar for teams that triage bounty/reward queues. The useful part may be a repo-specific cleanup: duplicate/crowding risk, current payout clarity, assignment/reservation status, stale/fresh status, and a recommended maintainer action. Public sample: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alceops/bounty.new/main/docs/data-products/oss-bounty-radar-sample-2026-04-29.csv

Would this save enough maintainer/agency time to justify a $100-$150 one-repo cleanup or a $49 one-off shortlist? If not, what one field/filter is missing? No follow-up needed if not relevant.

Kill / replace decision

Killed as active cash path for this cycle:

  • Passive owned issue-form monitoring by itself: no valid buyer/maintainer signals after several prompt variants.
  • Treating builder-style replies as traction: not buyer proof.
  • Automated third-party comments/contact-form submissions: too spam/captcha/reputation-sensitive without a fresh manual preflight.

Replacement:

  • Use this verified buyer-route packet for one manual/sender fit check or next safe public-data sales artifact.
  • Keep proof rows premium-first: Coolify $1,000, LitePCIe 11,400 EUR, Neuronav $500 USD; do not dilute with low-dollar/token/social/no-amount rows.

Ethics / validation note

All rows are public URLs. Buyer must validate current bounty terms at source before delivery. No private data, no fake traction, no repeated follow-up, no payment/KYC/account setup, no wallet/on-chain action, and no scraping around access controls. Ordinary truthful one-touch no-cost feedback asks are autonomous when legal, ToS-safe, non-spammy, and reputation-safe; spend/payment/KYC/account/legal identity/wallet/on-chain or material risk still requires Corey routing.
