Aha! found https://www.fundable.org/
They collect the payment methods from the users and collect payment
when the "bounty" is met. They also offer an expiration date for the
collection.

I found them through http://bountycounty.org/ were we can post the
bounties for wider viewing. I guess their deal is just to have a
central location for people interested in development bounties to find
them.

Like I said, I'm very interested in putting together a bounty for a
MythMusic rewrite, I'll write something up in a new thread about it.
