I no longer think ill of hackers that don't even try to responsibly disclose vulnerabilities any more. The glory days of bug bounties, or even easily getting in contact with a human being who cares, are long past.
It would be nice if there at least existed a non-profit organisation that accepts vulnerability "donations", who are well versed in jumping through the hoops, and who would be taken more seriously than the average anon, with the promise that any bug bounties go to a worthy charity.
I don't see a program like that taking off now though, unless an existing org like CVE were to set it up.
