If we have a collective on opencollective.com, we could use that after 
DebConf too. This would involve a Debian Trusted organization signing up 
as a fiscal host. OpenCollective is only an interface, the actual money 
would still be handled by a registered entity like Debian France or SPI, 
Inc.

This would also open up Debian to other Free Software community members 
already using Open Collective.
