FWIW, I agree with Paul here. Some Debian people have requested (individually) for public sponsorship to their free software-related work. That's all fine. We have a mechanism in place to help people donate money to Debian as a whole. That's also fine. But I'd very much rather keep both things separate — Not instate mechanisms in Debian to get funds to individual developer. We have never needed it, and from the discussions I have taken part in or witnessed, I really doubt we would need it now. Of course, I cannot decline the offer in the name of the whole project. I just state my opinion. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-project-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
