Possible reward for fuzzer bug fixes? Secure Open Source Rewards Program

Subject: Possible reward for fuzzer bug fixes? Secure Open Source Rewards Program

Recently a pilot for the Secure Open Source Rewards program was
announced [1]. Currently this program is run by the Linux Foundation and
sponsored by the Google Open Source Security Team.

The page mentions that patches for issues discovered by OSS-Fuzz may be
eligible for rewards. This seems like it could be a good incentive for
fixing fuzzer bugs.

A couple notes:
 * The program also rewards contributions besides fuzzer-bug fixes.
   Check out the page for full details.
 * It seems that QEMU would qualify for this program. The page mentions
   that the project should have a greater than 0.6 OpenSSF Criticality
   Score [2]. This score factors in statistics collected from github
   (sic!). QEMU's score is currently 0.81078
 * Not limited to individual contributors. Vendors can also qualify for
   rewards.
 * Work completed before Oct 1, 2021 does not qualify.
 * Individuals in some sanctioned countries are not eligible.
 * The process seems to be:
    1. Send a fix upstream
    2. Get it accepted
    3. Fill out a form to apply for a reward

Any thoughts about this? Should this be something we document/advertise
somewhere, so developers are aware of this opportunity?
