But should we punish our Trusted Organizations with reimbursement > requests that take several months? In what way is this "punishing" the TO? The TOs as organizations have a duty to disburse Debian's funds according to Debian's direction. If a six-month-old reimbursement request is not more difficult to administer than a two-month-old reimbursement request, then there is no reason to impose such a limit. You have suggested that this is needed because old reimbursement requests involve email archaeology. I don't think this is a good solution to the problem of not having good tracking of reimbursement requests. > I agree that improving the processes (using e.g. RT) would be better, > but this hasn't happened yet.
