+The LilyPond project does not organize such efforts; we neither

+@subheading Guidelines
+
+Any user wanting to offer money in exchange for work should bear
+in mind the following points:
+
+@itemize
+@item
+LilyPond developers may advertise their services on the lilypnod
+email lists from time to time.
+
+@item
+Any agreements between private individuals should include the
+normal precautions when conducting business: who pays, how much do
+they pay, with what method of payment, and upon what set of
+conditions.  We suggest that any ambiguity or uncertainty in these
+questions should be resolved before any work begins.

+
+Here is a list of people who have expressed an interest in
+bounties.  Note that the amount of work done by individuals varies
+quite a bit throughout the years.  We do not guarantee that this
+list is up-to-date, nor do we guarantee that the people listed
+here have any ability.  The only criteria is "XYZ asked to be
+listed on this page".
+
+Looking at the git history is a good way to determine who the most
+active and experienced developers are.  Statistics up to version
