AFAIK, we never did scores for food/accommodation.

Exactly. We have only one score in summit.

Our original goal is to come up with a conclusion in the next 5 days
so we can send the emails to people. Four people from the team
already started ranking sponsorship requests (and some people already
scored all of them).
Finally, we don't have a clear process or tool to do analysis of the
sets (and I'm not even sure if "cloneproof Schwartz" would be the
proper method for this problem). Designing, developing and testing
such tool/process would drain our scarce resources, which potentially
would compromise the goal of providing an answer by next week.
So I still believe it is too late for us to consider or try it.
But this is Debian (and DebConf), so if you feel like implementing,
testing and reporting on it in the next 2 days, we might have a
shot at analyzing and discussing it within Bursaries Team, so we can
make a decision about it.
I would still recommend to focus on the process we have at hand, and
use DC14 with a BoF to try something different, and for DC15, start
the discussion early enough to be able to use it.
Kind regards,
