wouldn't this be abused too? Like oorp hate
People can do that without making a Bounty Hunter / Mercenary char atm. If someone hates the malicious Corsair Montezuma OORPly, it'd be easier for that someone to make a Hessian / anyone else who can shoot Corsairs. However, there might be a way for abuse indeed. Although it is likely that the someone we're talking about won't even have to make a bounty, since Corsairs would definitely be faction-bountied by some faction.
The issues I can see are mostly related with the current bounty rules. E.g., one would be able to make bounties without IRP justification at all (or at least without showing that justification to the rest of the community). Although I wouldn't mind having such anonymous bounties (it's better when you don't know IRP and OORP who sent the hunters and mercs after you), I'm not sure that all people would agree with my point of view.
P.S.: also, it seems that the current write-up of the system doesn't support reputation restrictions for the mercs (so mercs wouldn't have to care much about their rep with the factions placing bounties, they would just take the cash from the 'pot', no matter who put the cash into it).
P.P.S.: and yes, despite the drawbacks, I wouldn't mind having such bounty system definitely. But right now the devs are busy with the final tweaks for 4.86 anyway, and I'm not sure whether creating such system is possible. But anyway, I like that hypothetical system.
