so basically sort of a reverse kickstarter for open source. That's brilliant. I love it.
I would sponsor someone fixing moving selections in gimp. I cannot figure out how to do it. There has to be a more intuitive method.

Hi everyone. I'm Tony, creator of FreedomSponsors.
You're absolutely right @ebswhat. Sorry about that. The layout and webdesign still have major room for improvement - we're working on that. Functionality is pretty stable though. To sponsor an issue, just do like @reginaldo said.
Gimp is not registered yet so you'll need to fill in more details about it: "Where does the bugtracker live?" and "What's gimp Home page?"
Would you please let me know about you usability experience in the Feedback section?
First you'll have to click the tiny "Login with google" button in the upper right corner, then the "Sponsor new issue" button. Then you paste the link to the original issue. After that, the site will guide you a little bit better.
I'm not a big fan of owning users' passwords, so unless people really really ask for it, we probably won't add a "create login/pass" functionality. Also, there is the concept of reputation - Sponsors that pay their offers as promised will have good reputation. For reputation to mean something, we need to know something about the user, and I believe linking with a social account is our best option for that.
Anyway, talking about FreedomSponsors on GitTip's thread is probably not good for MY reputation here on HackerNews (right? I don't really know, I just signed up). So I'm gonna create a new topic and answer questions there...
Thanks for your insterest!
So if Mozilla's Persona doesn't offer a way for the user to publish some sort of online profile, then we probably won't add it as a primary form of signing up on FS. Linking an existing account to authenticate later is ok. But we do want to make it more difficult to create completely "anonymous" profiles. At least that's our thinking today anyway.
