I like the idea in principle, but I think we should be focused on how we
invest our resources. For communication too, being focused helps, and I
believe it would be way better to have a single message, be it either
"we invite Debian contributors" or "we invite Debian upstream". For this
time, I'd be more happy to invest Debian resources on the former than on
the latter. If it works well, at a next DebConf we can do the same for
upstream.
Cheers.
