Indeed. Some of these number are already given in the Wiki at
<https://wiki.debian.org/DebConf/General/Handbook/Bids/LocationCheckList>,
the remaining should be added.
Perhaps we can collect those from the last ten years' Debconfs?

Note, this is all guessing (or from the Wiki).
For a DebConf at a location where we can expect many people will arrive,
like in Central Europe, we should be able to accomodate (A) 500 people,
and in other areas 300. And (B) some additional five to ten percent
off-site, depending on the quality of the accomodation.
I'd call these numbers the ideal ones - if it's less and people sign up
when it's already full, tough call.

I read the Wiki as "minimum three", a few more wouldn't hurt.

Sixty/Eighty percent of the total attendance count.

See the Wiki, there are a few more needs. I'd consider six a minimum.

Wiki: 100M/1G (might be a bit outdated)

Not required but certainly a good idea.
