Research direction

Open docs/development/bounties.md and locate the current Bountysource reference. Confirm the preferred replacement with maintainers, then update the page to show that service for developers and supporters and verify the obsolete reference is gone.

Description

bug

Describe the bug
The previously used bug bounty payment service bountysource is no longer functional and hasn't been functional since approximately May 2024. This prevents supports from funding specific functionality or bug/issue resolution. Currently this site/service is still provided on the bounties page.

Expected behavior/changes
Have the docs list/show the preferred bounty service to be used by both developers and supporters.
