We don't have formal bug bounty program for security reports; this is an open source application and your contribution will be recognized in the changelog.
If you want propose a change or bug fix with the Pull-Request system firstly you should carefully read the DCO section and format your commits accordingly.
If you intend to fix a bug it's fine to submit a pull request right away but we still recommend to file an issue detailing what you're fixing. This is helpful in case we don't accept that specific fix but want to keep track of the issue.
If you want to implement or start working in a new feature, please open a question / discussion issue for it. No pull-request will be accepted without previous chat about the changes, independently if it is a new feature, already planned feature or small quick win.
