I think you might be able to find someone decent quickly on Upwork.com; They have all sorts of job categories and can offer you payment protection. Also some freelancers on there are cheap. 🤷♂️
(Note: I'm biased due to having been an Upwork Pro Freelancer)
I would be happy to contribute, yes. I mean, I'd totally be happy to work on it as a freelancer (hint hint 🤑), but bounties seem like the most fitting idea to me. The question then is how to distribute said bounties when multiple makers work on the same feature. But if you would decide to distribute WIP-based rewards that would be fine too!

It gives me a sense of public accountability and a streak that I do not want to break. Having a streak to keep up is a very powerful motivator to ship something every day, even if it's just a bugfix or a small optimisation. It adds up over time!
I think it is meant for initial launches of a product. I seem to remember that @marckohlbrugge mentioned something separate for feature launches or follow-up launches. What the current command does is set the "launch date" on your product.
I use a modified version of this tutorial: simplyian.com/2015/01/07/Hack…
Except I don't use GMail as my client. :)
I think bots can be super immensly useful if tied into some other service. (e.g. wip.chat); The type I'm most interested in right now are Telegram bots and the ecosystem around it, because Telegram is probably the single most-used app on my phone and it pretty much runs my daily life.
I use Mailgun exclusively for managing my email stuff. 10,000 emails for free and it gives you complete freedom, since you can program the events on your own. (That can be either a pro or con)
EDIT to reflect update: Maybe you can do something with the Mailchimp API? It's free for up to 2000 subscribers and it has possibilities of adding your own field, so you could create one for your tags.
For me hustling is currently a better source of income than I could otherwise achieve. I'm pretty convinced that the Big 5 wouldn't even take me in.
I also think that Big 5 wouldn't consider taking me :(
Don't sell yourself short my man.
