Compare "Random Joe Developer is soliciting funding for his debian work"
vs "Debian is soliciting funding for Random Joe Developer's debian
work".  The former is fine IMO, has no risk of being seen as a "Debian"
thing, and can be done without involving the DPL or anyone besides
Random Joe.

Why do you think Debian as a project, or the DPL, should be involved in
this?
