How, if at all do you (collectively) want this to interact with the
regular bursaries process?
I think registration will open pretty soon, so it would be potentially
helpful to tell people as part of the instructions
https://wafertest.debconf.org/bursaries
that they can ask to have have their application routed to the diversity
team by writing something in the "details" box. I understand from
previous discussions that you might want to collect applications other
ways as well.
