Bubbalex will listen if the bounty allocation is small and many participants are joining, I PMd him about too many participants on Cartesi bounty campaign and he listened, too much participants on a small budget bounty campaigns aren't good
That's true and it looks like not only bubbalex who has been doing it but some managers too. You can try to take a look at oikos and how it was getting limited into the 150 participants as the maximum cap.
in fact the total participants must be adjusted with the total allocation.
