I have never been done travel sponsorship work myself, but I wouldn't
worry too much about this.
I think (others can correct me) that it's usual for people to be on
the team and to get reimbursement - you mainly don't rate yourself.
Also, part of the rating process is searching the list archives, bug
reports, web sites, etc, for the activity of the person. The
descriptions of Debian work on the profiles are rather short, and I
think most most people use extra information / what _they_ know as
part of the rating.
Also, the city departing from / heading is considered, for judging how
good the amount requested is. In past years, people just know where
the contributors live, it isn't always in penta (it was hidden for
DC10), if it was added, it probably wouldn't be too hard to know who
people are based on hometown + Debian work.
Hopefully others on the team in the past can say if I have
misinterpreted much. Anonymization is a nice idea, but it may not be
as easy as it seems.
thanks,
- Richard
