Neither is it desirable for Developers or other attendees to have half a dozen 
of
Debconfs not in Europe.

There once was the (unwritten, happened to just work based in bids)
"switch continents rule".

DC2: Montreal (Noth America)
DC3: Norway (Europe)
DC4: Brazil (South America)
DC5: Finland (Europe)
DC6: Mexiko (Middle America)
DC7: Scotland (Europe)
DC8: Argentina (South America)
DC9: Spain (Europe)
DC10: USA (Noth America)
DC11: Bosnia & Hercegovina (Europe)
DC12: Nicaragua (Middle America)
DC13: Switzerland (Europe)
DC14: USA (North America)
DC15: Germany (last one in Europe)
DC16: South Africa (Africa)
DC17: Canada (North America)
DC18: Taiwan (Asia)
DC19: Brazil (South America)
DC20: Israel (Asia[1])
DC21: Lisbon / India / ...

So I completely understand this, it is time for Europe.

India can try 2022?

For that matter, I personally consider Israel with being nearby
Cyprus to be on-par with Europe, but... - cited (personal) "Political
issues" and (probably) slightly bigger flight prices than for Lisbon
aside.

If the Lisbon bid is like this year (from what I see in the wiki) and
it only lost by a small margin, yes, I do.

Are you going to propose another Debconf people from Europe possibly
can't attend? The last one where this is possible being Debconf15?

That would be the seventh debconf in a row not in Europe. Whereas the
American continent ha(d/ve) DC17 and DC19.

As Daniel already wrote: Outreach is not everything, this is a
conference for/with developers, and there are hunndreds of such in
Europe and a few in India.
