Launchpad kind of fills in this for open source projects.  Bounties, 
Rosetta translation for any project, and built to work with distro's.  
Seeing it made me have second thoughts about writing my own reverse 
auction.

A couple of notable projects there :)  https://launchpad.net/projects/+all

Of course KDE and all the others still have their own project 
environments too.
