Could you build this?
Partial The GitHub Action and comment trigger are easy, but real payouts require payment rails, KYC, and tax reporting that a solo builder cannot simply vibe-code.
What it would actually take: Build a GitHub Action that parses /send comments, checks maintainer permissions, and calls a payout API such as Stripe Connect, PayPal Payouts, or a crypto rail. The hard parts are money-transmission and payout compliance, contributor identity verification, and 1099 or tax handling across countries. A real version needs fintech compliance expertise and a licensed or partnered payments provider.
