it's not true. If the sponsoree well-beeing (because he tries to live
from that) depends upon that, he may take bad decisions to have the
money after all.

did i said that ? you misread me.
I want the donor to decide what they want to fund, and choose who they
will fund directly, because asking Debian would either be done:
(1) through GRs (hahahahahaha)
(2) through a small comitee that would be biased, or that would suffer
from *BIG* conflicts of interests.

it looks like you don't know how to read ? I'm against money beeing able
to influence the choices people take in Debian. full stop. I'm also not
OK with money (or lack of it) blocking Debian because some DD decided
he needed fund to do do something he "has to" do.

I'm not sure to fully understand /what/ you proposed, so I reserve my
judgement for now, until I see a proper, clean, detailed, open
proposal.

so that would only benefit the good *and* known one ? what's the

did I said so ? are you trying to divert my thoughts into some lame
FUD ? or did you truly not understood me to that level ?
