Ehh... I am *so* for being bribed... ;]

That being said, I prefer the "I'll order you a pizza if..." or the ever
popular "I owe you a pint whenever you come visit..." to the "I'll pay
you to fix..." which can definitely lead to development time following
the money trail rather than fixing bugs that might not be in the public
eye, but are much more widespread and important to Gentoo as a whole.
