All those fields rated from 1 to 5 right? How about:
Contributor:
1 - Seldomly
2 - Regular
3 - Active
4 - Very Active / Orga team
5 - Extra point for people organizing events/Talks/BOFs at debconf.
Members are supposed to
Requested amount:
1 Too much
2 A bit over fair
3 Fair
4 Between fair and travel help.
5 Just asking for some travel help (something like 30 % of the total?)
For this field, committee members can use as guide what they think it is
"usual" for travelling from every country and rate everybody following their
criteria.
Rewording welcome.

I think we should add the field, mail all people who asked travel sponsorship
and ask them to fill the field and in any case, do not make this compulsory
for getting sponsorship. I expect most the people file it and I volunteer
to work on this and mail and prod nicely people who does not do this in 48h.
I do not think we are asking too much here.
This is far from perfect, but I think it is better that last year. This is a
tricky and too much subjective issue.
