DebConf time.
And around that time (January/February) the "improved travel sponsorship team"

Yes, if you consider when attendees spend money on travel, not us. As
you know, we reimburse travel after the conference. In practice,

There are at least two more ways around this, including:
- the project guarantees those later known-size expenses for
everything after accommodation, so debconf can use that money to fund
the cashflow for travel sponsorship. This differ
