Good idea!  As a non-programmer, offering feedback and money are the best 
options I have for supporting Lilypond development.

It's not clear how to offer a bounty on a specific issue through the Website, 
if that is even possible.  Also, it's not clear there is any way to contribute 
to some sort of general fund to pay for server space, bandwidth, other 
operating expenses.  Maybe those things are covered already, I don't know.
