Andy,
This is a good idea, but I don't know about putting up a thank you page for
the security researcher.  Companies are really careful about admitting to
having security vulnerabilities.  I think in most cases they would rather
quietly fix the issue and thank the researcher privately.

And offering up any kind of reward would encourage people to mess with the
company's website to search for bugs.
