Asking bounty hunters to observe the KYC obligations is just like engaging a marketing agency to help market your product, and subject them to series of tasks before paying them their money.

I believe Cryptocurrency community is still evolving; but i foresee a future where bounty hunters gets paid on the shortlist of their work.

KYC for bounty hunters is purely a delay tactics in making payment.
That should be limited to the investors.

ON THE OTHER HAND
The reason can be security conscious; to help in tracking stolen coins. But that doesn't imply that bounty hunters should be subjected to that else; pay them in USD, Ether, BTC or other currencies.
