openssl had 10 severe vulnerabilities caused by those "senior" programmers.
You don't get my point anyway.
If you want certified or "safe" s/w, you're off to corporate s/w(a.k.a. closed source). OSS comes with this(example from GPL):
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM âoeAS ISâ WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

at its finest.
OK, let's paint the big picture here.
The E.U. just prints money. Every "green", "OSS", or any similar move that they've done, has been initiated because they wanted to absorb a buttload of money.
e.g. there are many members of the e.u. parliament, with ties to "green" companies, that have been getting many years money due to their "green" operations.

Now, what's this "initiative"? This is probably the same high corruption scum. These projects could've been funded, with manpower ofc, not direct funding, in order to help free s/w. A 90k bounty for a bug doesn't solve the problem.
A 2 year contract for graduate with 90k in total, could've benefited such projects in greater extend by just fixing a bug. You could help a graduate start filling his CV, you could give man power to projects that need it and in the end those people could fix critical bugs, non-critical ones and even contribute more features.
Bug bounty hunting for non-corporate s/w is wasteful and doesn't help neither(is this considered a double negative?) the project that much, nor contributes back to developers who want to work on it but don't have the experience to deal with those bugs *in-time*.

"Americans want to be abused.
I wish Americans had a functioning brain."
do you see how easy it is to find the source of the problem?
Why would your government intervene, when you want to sign a contract that has so many constraints?
Why would you support a service that is after your money and doesn't respect you as a customer.

This is one of the reasons that "free market" fails, because customers are stupid and when they fuck up they want their Daddy to take care of the bad guys.
