Description

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.

Additional context
The location of the page is provided below.
docs/development/bounties.md
