My proposal wasn't intended to exclude people who needed the bursary on
financial grounds, it was intended to rotate the places, so people who
hadn't attended other events might have a higher chance of attending the
summit.
So where I wrote "eliminate candidates who had a DebConf bursary this
year", maybe that could simply read "eliminate candidates who had the
means to attend DebConf this year"
