I would love it if we could start bounties for games, both for ports or for finding coders to write specific engines that can be used by others to make new, original games.

I wonder if Power2People would be a good place to host bounties if they were aimed at more than just Aros. Each bounty on there currently has "Target: Aros" on it, but perhaps they could have MorphOS, OS3 and OS4 added if a particular bounty requires the code to run on those systems too. Of course being Aros bounties, any that are taken up are usually open-sourced and are free to be ported to the other systems even if they weren't the intended original target.

There is a site called Amiga Bounty, but they are strictly OS4-only. They had the choice to join with the rest of the Amiga community and offer the website as a platform for all Amiga flavours to host bounties on, but these are the kind of primitive-thinking Amigans who ruin the community spirit with their hatred for anything that doesn't have the brand name on it. I'm sure it's fine for OS4 users, but they choose to leave themselves out of the greater community for their own selfish reasons (the site owners, not the users).

The other option is for someone with web development skills to start a new ALL-Amiga Bounty site for us all to use, but I think it would be best to find out if we could use Power2People for non-Aros bounties first.
