Why this exists.

Public bounty boards are where open-source work gets paid, and where an enormous amount of attention goes to die. The same issue posted on two boards under three labels. Rewards that have been stale for months. Issues that look lucrative precisely because they attract drive-by attempts.

Sorting that out by hand is a real job. Teams that do it spend serious engineer time every week deciding which paid issues are worth shipping (funding state, maintainer signal, scope, competition) before anyone writes a line of code.

PatchRail is that job, run as a desk. The public bounty boards, ranked, de-duplicated, every call carrying its review notes, delivered as one clean queue. I build the tooling in the open (the PatchRail CLI is on PyPI) and I review and sign off everything that ships.

If your team is still doing this by hand, email me what you are tracking and I will reply with what the radar sees. No call required.
