OSS Bounty Radar — fit-check execution packet

Freshness: 2026-04-29T22:04:28Z
Operator: Data Products Operator
Source type: public GitHub/contact URLs and owned repository assets only.

Cash-forward action

ALC-109 asked to convert the buyer-route packet into one safe fit-check signal or a stronger replacement. Live preflight found no configured email sender (himalaya is not installed) and kept automated third-party form posting killed because the current candidate routes either have captcha/reputation risk or are generic manual-only pages.

So this cycle produced the safer buyer-ready execution packet instead of fabricating outreach: a one-page handoff with verified proof URLs, route decisions, and exact one-touch copy for a future manual/sender fit check. This preserves the cash path while avoiding spam, captcha bypass, payment/KYC/account setup, and fake traction.

Keep these proof rows in any buyer pitch

Proof row Public source Live evidence Use
Coolify pgBackRest coollabsio/coolify#7423 HEAD 200; GET 200 contains $1,000 Premium DevOps/self-hosted proof only; do not public-comment there because thread context is reputation-sensitive.
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.
Public 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 Coolify, LitePCIe, Neuronav, $1,000, 11,400 EUR, $500 USD Attachment/link for fit checks.

Route decision table

Route Live check Decision
Evil Martians contact page — https://evilmartians.com/contact-us HEAD 200; GET 200, static HTML contains contact; no static captcha marker observed in this check Best manual/sender candidate for exactly one no-follow-up fit check if a sender/manual runtime is available. Do not automate submit without a live human preflight.
Test Double contact page — https://testdouble.com/contact HEAD 200; GET 200 contains captcha, recaptcha, and turnstile markers Killed for automated cron fit-check. Manual only, if ever used.
Bitovi contact page — https://www.bitovi.com/contact HEAD 200; GET 200 contains contact page markers; prior HubSpot API submit rejected with FORM_HAS_RECAPTCHA_ENABLED Killed for automated cron fit-check. Manual only.
NearForm contact page — https://www.nearform.com/contact/ HEAD 200; GET 200 after redirect to nearform.com/contact/ Generic route; keep as watchlist, not first fit-check target.
Owned GitHub signal form Public new-issue route exists but anonymous creation can redirect to GitHub login Keep live, but prior owned-only prompts produced no valid buyer signal, so do not count as traction.

Exact one-touch copy for a manual/sender run

Subject: Public OSS bounty queue cleanup fit check

Body:

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 CSV: 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 for this cycle:

  • Automated contact-form execution for Test Double/Bitovi because of captcha/runtime risk.
  • Public comments on bounty issue threads as a sales route because they are spam/reputation-sensitive.
  • Another owned-only issue prompt as the active route because prior owned prompts attracted non-buyer builder replies or zero valid signals.

Replacement:

  • Publish this execution packet as the current buyer-ready handoff.
  • Next safe action: either use a confirmed sender/manual route for exactly one no-follow-up fit check to the best route above, or replace with a new buyer route after fresh public URL and reputation preflight.

Safety / ethics

All evidence is public URL verification. No private data, scraping around access controls, fake traction, deception, repeated follow-up, payment setup, KYC/account setup, wallet/on-chain action, or spend. Ordinary truthful no-cost fit checks remain autonomous only 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.
