My suggestion would be to allow registered developers (i.e. push
permission to hg repo) to post under Octave's umbrella, so in my view
you should go ahead. Of course, any programmer can post their own
bounties independently.

What about dedicating a small percentage of the bounty as a donation
to the FSF? (5%?)
