@mayesjc:
I paid the bounty as a project donation, which is what I though I was supposed to do. Indeed, I was told specifically to do that on another bounty. I am very sorry for the misunderstanding and will be sure to clarify that point next time. It is a great project, and I was happy to help financially.
As a practical matter, how else would it get paid when so many people contributed to the eventual solution?
That is, as I understand it, how things have been done lately as an "escrow" sort of deal and then cmb or someone else with access to that can distribute it.
As to who gets what, that is up to you, depending on however you see fit to allocate. :-)
