Thanks for the statistics, Jimmy!

I infer from this that the one herb team member who failed to make a
reasonable justification for their large request (the same failure that
appears to have sunk Clint's application) ended up with a score of 82%.
Did they also end up in queue C?

The question asked in penta is "What are you doing for Debian? Why do
you request sponsorship?"
I'm embarrassed to admit this, but i just reviewed my own application.
It doesn't look like i provided any justification for my financial need.
I don't think i understood that there were two parts to this question.
Here is my response in full:

(the fact that i've been failing at getting any of my debcamp plan done
at all is another embarrassment for me, but probably not relevant to
this thread)
I am grateful for my presence in queue A, since it allowed me to get
funding for travel to the conference. But i don't think i gave any more
financial justification for my need than Clint did. So i appear to have
failed a basic input myself.
I do note that i'm more verbose than Clint (in everything, not just
penta). If verbosity in application is a relevant criterion for getting
travel sponsorship, perhaps that should be made clear to future
applicants, so that the naturally terse among us aren't unduly penalized?
