I can be ok with the rest, but this point seems really weird to me.
Like, I would never allocate money on a ticket without knowing what the
total amount needed to solve the issue is?

Do you think the funding for OL3 would have gone well if they did not set
an expectation beforehand?

Given that every bug fix needs a test, probably a backport to the stable
series, and if it's not the maintainer doing the work,
a review, I'd say there is no such a thing like a 100$ fix that people
could just carelessly put money against.
